Rewrite and URL issues

[Mark Fraser]

This is a similar problem to what dpk posted today but not exactly the same so I am posting it separately.  I am using with gitolite in case that matters (but I have relaxed the permissions on the repo directories managed by gitolite).

I extracted the version 0.3 tarball from today.

My config.ini looks like this:

-------------------------------

client = '/usr/bin/git' ; Your git executable path

repositories = '/home/gitolite/repositories/' ; Path to your repositories

[app]

debug = true

; I don't know if baseurl is still needed..seems like my results are the same either way

baseurl = 'http://sub.example.com.com/gitlist' ; Base URL of the application

--------------------------------

virtual host directive in httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html

    ServerName sub.example.com

    <Directory "/var/www/html">

        AllowOverride All

        Options -Indexes

    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

----------------------------------

htaccess:

----------------------------

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    Options -MultiViews

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteBase /var/www/html/gitlist/

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L,NC]

    

    AuthName "Git List"

    AuthType Basic

    AuthUserFile /var/www/.gitlistpwds

    Require valid-user

</IfModule>

<Files config.ini>

    order allow,deny

    deny from all

</Files>

----------------------------------------

With this setup, going to http://sub.example.com/gitlist results in the browser error message saying that /index.php does not exist (i.e. it's trying to go to /var/www/html/index.php )

In this case if I go to http://sub.example.com/gitlist/index.php, the repository list (apparently) properly appears.  When I click on one of the repos, I get:

-------------------------------

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

1/1 RuntimeException: Unknown option: -c

usage: git [--version] [--exec-path[=GIT_EXEC_PATH]] [--html-path]

[-p|--paginate|--no-pager] [--no-replace-objects]

[--bare] [--git-dir=GIT_DIR] [--work-tree=GIT_WORK_TREE]

[--help] COMMAND [ARGS]

----------------------------------------------

If I remove the rewrite rule from .htaccess, I am able to access the index page by either specifying index.php or not.  But in that case when I click on a repo, it tries to find the repo underneath the gitlist directory:

______________________________

The requested URL /gitlist/testing.git/ was not found on this server.

------------------------------------------------------

Can someone please help sort out this mess?

Thanks

This is kind of sad.

The error with the -c option occurs because you're using an old Git version. You need at least 1.7.2.

Thank you Klaus --

Yes that was part of the problem.  I'm having other issues that have cropped up once I got past this which I may post separately later.
