[SOLVED] where to put git files for the Apache server to find them?

On a computer, I have a bare repository which I can access from another computer with both protocols git and ssh, but with http it fails. Where to copy my directory? The links:

ls -s /my/repo /var/www/html/repo-link
ls -s /my/repo /var/www/git/repo-link

as in Red Hat and Debian based distributions won't work

Re: [SOLVED] where to put git files for the Apache server to find them?

Hi,
when you check the wiki page for apache it points out, that the DocumentRoot should be /srv/http, whilst some distros (like debian) let it point to /var/www.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Apache … figuration

You should check the configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and check the configuration, which points to the DocumentRoot of your server (depending on the configuration which is active for you).

edit: also in your first ln command there may be a typo (htm => html ?)

Re: [SOLVED] where to put git files for the Apache server to find them?

Hi,
It was html in my history but I made a bad copy-paste in the post. It's corrected
So I tried both links:

sudo ln -s /tmp/my-remote-git-repo /srv/http/git/my-remote-git-repo
sudo ln -s /tmp/my-remote-git-repo /srv/http/my-remote-git-repo

but the commands

git clone https://127.0.0.1/my-remote-git-repo my-remote-git-repo-2
git clone https://127.0.0.1:/my-remote-git-repo my-remote-git-repo-2

answer

Cloning into 'my-remote-git-repo-2'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://127.0.0.1/my-remote-git-repo/': Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 443 after 0 ms: Connection refused

There doesn't seem to be a listener on port 443. Did you set up https at all?  How?

If I call http instead of https, the same happens. And for the httpd service, I just installed the apache package without further configuration

Check your Apache config. IIRC it doesn't follow symlinks without extra configuration.

Re: [SOLVED] where to put git files for the Apache server to find them?

If I make a copy of the repository under either /srv/http or /srv/http/git, it still doesn't work it works for the http protocol (and not for the https protocol).
Solved, thank you for your help
