Diagnostics questions

[Bas Vodde]

Hiya,

We've been upgrading our own gitorious installation to the latest and have used the diagnostics to try to find things that could be improved. I've got a question about this:

The diagnostics failed on: "hostname not bound to a 'git.*' subdomain?"

Our gitorious installation is at git.companyname.com.

Why isn't it ok to have the hostname be git.* ? (we've not had any problem with this)

Thanks!

Bas

This will cause Gitorious to interpret all requests to be
git-over-http requests (these are identified by the fqdn used in the
request). IIRC, this means that all requests are processed by the
"metal" which serves git over HTTP, but as the requests don't look
like Git requests they will (probably) be passed on to the "regular"
Rails app.

Cheers,
- Marius

Hi Marius,

I'm still a bit confused. We've hosted the gitorious server on git.companyname.com for quite a while and I don't it has caused any problems and the requests have still been going over ssh (not https).

Could you clarify this more and/or tell me where this happens in the gitorious code base and why this is done?

Thanks!

Bas
