So I have set up a simple server running debian stable (squeeze), and have configured git.
Using gitolite, I have all functionality (at least the basic clone/push/pull/commit) working.
Installation of gitweb went without any issues. However, when I access gitweb, I get a gitweb screen without any repos listed.
# tail -n 1 /var/log/apache2/error.log
[DATE] [error] [client IP_ADDRESS] fatal: Not a git repository: '/var/lib/gitolite/repositories/testrepo.git'
# cd /var/lib/gitolite/repositories/testrepo.git
# ls
branches config HEAD hooks info objects refs
Here is what I see in /var/lib/gitolite/projects.list
:
testrepo.git
And in /etc/gitweb.conf
:
# path to git projects (<project>.git)
$projectroot = "/var/lib/gitolite/repositories";
# directory to use for temp files
$git_temp = "/tmp";
# target of the home link on top of all pages
#$home_link = $my_uri || "/";
# html text to include at home page
$home_text = "indextext.html";
# file with project list; by default, simply scan the projectroot dir.
$projects_list = "/var/lib/gitolite/projects.list";
# stylesheet to use
$stylesheet = "gitweb.css";
# javascript code for gitweb
$javascript = "gitweb.js";
# logo to use
$logo = "git-logo.png";
# the 'favicon'
$favicon = "git-favicon.png";
What is missing?
EDIT: Figured it out, when I had chmod'd the repository I had forgotten to add the -R switch! I changed the umask but this was not retroactive... and forgot that chmod would only change the directory and not any of the contents.
@VonC, thank you for your config. Though configuration wasn't the issue, I did get some good ideas beyond my very minimal current config. I'd vote you up, but I can't yet.
