I'm trying to use the smart HTTP functionality of git on my Ubuntu Server. I've read the documentation for both smart HTTP and git-http-backend, as well as the documentation for apache; but for the life of me, I can't figure out why this isn't working. I have a functionning Sonar server that's proxied through apache, which is working fine, but I can't get this to work. Namely, I keep getting a 403 error.

/etc/apache2/sites-available/git.conf

SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /opt/git
SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL
ScriptAlias /git/ /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend/

<Directory "/opt/git">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<LocationMatch "^/git/.*/git-receive-pack$">
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Git Access"
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    AuthUserFile /opt/git/.htpasswd
    Require valid-user
</LocationMatch>

I thought that maybe it was a permission issue, as www-data didn't have access to the /opt/git folder, so I created a new group, git-access and added both myself and www-data to that group, and changed the permissions of the /opt/git so that www-data was the group, with rw permission for the group and owner.

zymus@ubuntu:/etc/apache2/sites-available$ groups www-data
www-data : www-data git-access

  • Without seeing all your apache2.conf it's hard to give a definitive answer however did you try adding AllowOverride All to <Directory "/opt/git">

  • Have you checked the error log for the site? It might give a hint as to what's going wrong.
