Re: [git-users] Re: Trouble with the git-http-backend; Documentation unprecise
Of course, that was stupid of me :D Nevertheless, I followed your advice and it does seem to almost work now, even though the new Problem does not have anything to do with the communication between all those scripts, that's working fine now. Thanks for all of your help guys. Am Mittwoch, 13.

I'm sorry I forgot about the most important part:
setting the pth variable for the PATH_INFO
$pth = explode(GIT_DOCUMENT_ROOT, isset($_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL']) ?
$_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'] : '', 2);
$pth = array_pop($pth);

*Hello Git Community,*
I usually always try to solve problems myself, but I really have gotten
onto my limits with this.
Situation:
I am trying to create a php glue script between apache and the git http
backend in order to allow myself to hook into all git processes via my php
framework
(So auth and automatic building and version number handling can be handled
from my php git web frontend).
But I cannot seem to get it to work. The official git http backend
documentation http://git-scm.com/docs/git-http-backend states this:
To determine the location of the repository on disk, *git http-backend*
concatenates the environment variables PATH_INFO, which is set
automatically by the web server, and GIT_PROJECT_ROOT, which must be set
manually in the web server configuration. If GIT_PROJECT_ROOT is not
set, *git http-backend* reads PATH_TRANSLATED, which is also set
automatically by the web server.
It also goes on about what environment variables the web server has to set
in order for it to work
PATH_INFO (if GIT_PROJECT_ROOT is set, otherwise PATH_TRANSLATED)
-
REMOTE_USER
-
REMOTE_ADDR
-
CONTENT_TYPE
-
QUERY_STRING
-
REQUEST_METHOD
Which I am doing as I should:
define('GIT_PROJECT_ROOT', '/var/www/html/gittest/');
define('GIT_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/gittest/');
define('GIT_HTTP_BACKEND', '/usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend');
$env = array (
GIT_PROJECT_ROOT = GIT_PROJECT_ROOT,
GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL = 1,
REMOTE_USER = isset($_SERVER[REMOTE_USER]) ? $_SERVER[
REMOTE_USER] : REMOTE_USER,
REMOTE_ADDR = isset($_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]) ? $_SERVER[
REMOTE_ADDR] : ,
REQUEST_METHOD = isset($_SERVER[REQUEST_METHOD]) ? $_SERVER[
REQUEST_METHOD] : ,
PATH_INFO = $pth,
QUERY_STRING = isset($_SERVER[QUERY_STRING]) ? $_SERVER[
QUERY_STRING] : ,
CONTENT_TYPE = isset($request_headers[Content-Type]) ?
$request_headers[Content-Type] : ,
);
To make sure that the problem lies not with the server setup, I have
executed tests on 2 different linux machines as well as a windows machine.
I was testing with a bare repository, which I added a single file to over
local push (file://).
GIt update-server-info was executed as well.
But I always get the message:
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
Checking connectivity... done.
And in my apache error log:
fatal: 'test.git/info/refs': aliased\n
Googling this very generic and useless (thanks git :)) error message did
not fruition in any solution to be found.
I am that desperate I was just looking at the git source code in order to
try if I could see something that was not well documented in the official
documentation.
Sorry for the long post, but the Problem has to be described well :)
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm afraid I don't understand the use-case. But if you have low-level concrete questions that don't get answered on this mailing list, you could try asking on the Git developers' mailing list: https://gist.github.com/tfnico/4441562 I think if I was writing a framework that would operate on Git repositories, I would use some library like libgit2 to interoperate with the repositories, instead of using the rather limited HTTP protocol. There is a dormant project that implements libgit2 bindings in PHP here: https://github.com/libgit2/php-git -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.
