Application Software version

Apache httpd :2.2.11

 

//data//Git_Software

 

Set Git On Web

 

This is a typical Apache+Git setting which approves accesses via HTTP to Got server.

 

Also, this process could take you a long time to download everything and make it work. Just be patient.

 

Preparation:

GCC is a tool to compile Linux c/c++ program.

Please make sure that GCC was installed on your Linux. To do that, you could just use yum install:

 

        
#yum install gcc

 

Step 1:            Apache

 

 

If you have done that, you can try to uninstall it with

        
#yum remove httpd 

 

Or

 

        
#rpm –e httpd

 

Here is the address to download the latest source of Apache. What I’ve tried is httpd-2.2.11. After you have downloaded the .gz file, do the following:

 

            a) Installation   Apache and install webdav module

        
#tar –zxvf httpd-2.2.11.tar.gz

        
#cd /httpd-2.2.11

        
#./configure –enable-module=so –enable-dav –enable-dav-fs –enable-so –prefix=/usr/local/apache2

        
#make

        
#make install          

        
#make clean            

 

b) Copy the httpd file to init.d folder.

        
#cp 
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl 

/etc/init.d/httpd

 

 

Then, open your Web browser and input http://localhost into the address blank, if you could see “It workds!”, that means your Apache service has been started successfully.

 

c) Open the webdav module. Change the httpd.conf

 

        
#vi /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

        
Add 

        
DavLockDB "/usr/local/apache2/var/DavLock"

        
#mkdir –p /usr/local/apache2/var

 

d) Start Apache service and check the result.

 

        
#/etc/init.d/httpd stop  
(or : service httpd stop)

        
#/etc/init.d/httpd start (or : service httpd start)cd ls

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2:            Setup up Git repository on server

 

a).chang the httpd.conf file and add below list under file

 

    
<Directory /data/source>

       
DAV on

       
AuthType Basic

       
AuthName "Git"

       
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache2/auth.git

       
Require valid-user

       
Options None

       
Order allow,deny

       
Allow from all

    
</Directory>

 

b).create new apache user to access git and set the password

 

    

htpasswd –c 
/usr/local/apache2/auth.git
 
gituser

 

b).change the /data/source rights

 

    

chown –R apache.apache /data/soruce

 

d).add a test project on server.

 

#cd /data/source/

#mkdir helloword

#cd helloword

#git init

#git update-server-info

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note. Some version need to do this

 

#mv hooks/post-update.sample hooks/post-update;


    
#chmod +x hooks/post-update;


   
 #git update-server-info

 

 

Step 3:            Uses git on client

 

a).if you client is Linux then go to uses home folder create access file

 

 

#cat << EOF >> ~/.netrc

#machine servername/serverIP

#login gituser

#password gituser’s password

#EOF

 

If you Os is windows .then you need to install a Cygwin-x tool.

 

b). clone the project and update into server

 

#cat << EOF >> ~/.netrc

#cd /tmp

#git clone http://server/helloword/.git

#cd helloword

#git config remote.upload.url http://<gituser>@<servername>/helloword/.git

#echo "this is a test" > hi.txt

#git add hi.txt

#git commit -m "hi.txt test file added."

#git repack

#git prune

#git pull

#git push upload master

 

 

 

 

keynotes

2. Please make sure you apache service have open the webdav. It needs to change the httpd.conf file. Or either you can uses cadaver to verify it
