git-receive-pack missing credentials ?

[François Dagorn]

Hello all,

I'm experiencing problems when trying to set up a git repository
managed by git-http-backend. I've done the following :

- on the server side

     cd /git
     mkdir test13
     git --bare init .
         >>> Initialized empty Git repository in /git/test13

     /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-update-server-info
     chown -R apache.apache .

- on the client side

    cd (project-directory)
    $ git init
    $ (add some files)
    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m 'Initial commit'
    git push http://git.istic.smw.fr/test13 master

        Username:
        Password:
        error: Cannot access URL http://git.istic.smw.fr/test13/, return code 22
        fatal: git-http-push failed

- apache acces_log

 1) ip-address - metheuser [07/Nov/2011:16:17:31 +0100]
    "GET /test13/info/refs?service=git-     receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "git/1.7.3.4"
 2) ip-address - metheuser [07/Nov/2011:16:17:32 +0100]
    "GET /test13/HEAD HTTP/1.1" 200 23 "-" "git/1.7.3.4"
 3) ip-address - - [07/Nov/2011:16:17:32 +0100]
    "PROPFIND /test13/ HTTP/1.1" 401 492 "-" "git/1.7.3.4"

- what sounds strange to me : the 2 firsts requests are generated by my client side
  (wireshark used as a clue) but the third comes from the server side and the users
  credentials are missed !

- And also, I was hoping to use smart httpd and so the generated PROPFIND (DAV)
  is amazing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Can you update your git installation and try again? v1.7.3.4 sounds
pretty old (almost a year).

On the server side I'm using the last 1.7.7.2 and 1.7.3.4 is on
the client side used for testing. 

When apache is configured to serve without authentication, everything
is ok !

PS: I don't know where to report but there are mistakes (IMHO) in the
git-http-backend man page : the LocationMatch directive cannot be used 
to restrict access to "receive-pack" because "receive-pack" does not
take part of the URL but only in the QUERY_STRING.


GET /test13/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack
                    ****

Cheers.

What happens : git-http-backend is not called at all !

ScriptAlias /git/ /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-httpd-backend/

is not relevant, I don't know why.

It was an ExecCGI issue :

when adding "Options ExecCGI" on the
directory hosting git repositories, everything was ok.

Hi Francois

Reading this thread mirrored the exact problems I'm seeing but sadly your
solution adding +ExecCGI didn't fix it.

I'm guessing, like you, it's probably an apache config issue. Could you
share your working apache.conf

Many thanks ..............Geoff
