Bare repository - tree/master not found. about gitlist

[klaussilveira]

As i mentioned before, try: localhost/gitlist/index.php/ajax-todo-list.

If it works, make sure your Apache is correctly configured.

[chipit24]

I had this problem as well, and the issue was with the provided .htaccess file.

I had to change this line:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,NC]

To this:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /gitlist/index.php/$1 [L,NC]

For me, GitList was at /var/www/html/gitlist (using Apache 2.4 on Ubuntu 14.04).

[klaussilveira]

Both bare and non-bare repositories are supported. In the config.ini, you must provide the directory containing your bare and non-bare repositories, not the actual repository path. For example:

• /home/git/myrepo.git
• /home/git/outrorepo.git
• /home/git/projects/example/bestrepoever.git

In config.ini, you would use repositories = '/home/git/'.

[akjoshi]

Yes, I did same. When I open http://localhost/gitlist/, it does give a list of repositories. But when I click on one of those projects, it returns "Not Found" error:

Error:
The requested URL /gitlist/compression.git/tree/master/ was not found on this server.

In config.ini, I have
repositories = '/home/student/boxy/repo/'

which contains all the .git projects. ex: 1. compression.git 2.cloudmatch.git

[klaussilveira]

What is your URL? Where GitList is located in your DocumentRoot? /var/www/gitlist?

[akjoshi]

Yes. It's /var/www/gitlist/ and I modified the config.ini inside it. The rest remains completely intact - no changes.

[klaussilveira]

What is your config.ini?

[akjoshi]

Here's mine:

$ cat /var/www/gitlist/config.ini
[git]
client = '/usr/bin/git' ;
#Your git executable path
repositories = '/home/student/boxy/repo/' ;
#Path to your repositories (with ending slash)

[app]
baseurl = 'http://localhost/gitlist' ;
#Base URL of the application (without ending slash)

[imustardsoft]

we are having the same issue

[tadev]

Did you guys check that your HTTP Server supports url rewriting and is it actually turned on for that directory?
I guess you should also check if your webserver is having read access on that directory.

[akjoshi]

It didn't work. I created a .htaccess file with following lines:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

I also tried permission 777 to directory for testing.

Settings: Ubuntu, Apache Server.

Please let me know if my .htaccess is incorrect.

I am having the same issue. My repositories are listed but when I trying to visualize one of them, I get a 404 error.

My config.ini:

[git]
client = '/usr/bin/git' ; Your git executable path
repositories = '/var/git/' ; Path to your repositories

; You can hide repositories from GitList, just copy this for each repository you want to hide
; hidden[] = '/var/www/projects/BetaTest'

[app]
baseurl = 'http://git.ortizgaming.local/gitlist' ; Base URL of the application

; If you need to specify custom filetypes for certain extensions, do this here
[filetypes]
; extension = type
; dist = xml

Not sure if it is a issue or a miss-configuration of mine...

[klaussilveira]

It's very hard to pinpoint the issue without enough environment information or access to it. If you guys are certain about your Apache configuration, and tested with index.php in the URL, contact me directly so maybe i can help with further info or access.

[walac]

It feels like for some reason git repo is not being correctly referenced. The error.log file shows that:

File does not exist: /var/www/gitlist/libpgt.git, referer: http://git.ortizgaming.local/gitlist/index.php

It tries to search for the repo inside gitlist, but it is actually in the /var/git repository.

[walac]

I got it working, I just needed to add the following lines to the apache configuration file:

< Directory "/var/www/gitlist" >
AllowOverride All
</ Directory >

[celvin]

I tried all the responses, but I still have the problem.
When I follow the installation guide it looks like that

but when I want to see the commits

[imustardsoft]

yes, it does work, somehow if I add index.php into the url, gitlist renders perfectly; if I don't, then I get 404.

any suggestions? this issue has been reported before. #6. but it doesn't seem to help me.

[klaussilveira]

This happens because your Apache is either:

• Unable to read the .htaccess file
• Has mod_rewrite is disabled
• Not configured to read .htaccess instructions (Due to AllowOverride)

Please, make sure your Apache is able to read the .htaccess and has the rewrite module installed. Otherwise, it won't work at all, unless you append index.php to your URL's.

[imustardsoft]

yes, after I enabled rewrite, it works now. thanks a lot!

[celvin]

[Apache Conf file]
Alias /gitlist /var/www/gitlist
< Directory /var/www/gitlist >
AllowOverride All
< /Directory >

[config.ini]
[git]
client = '/usr/bin/git' ; Your git executable path
repositories = '/home/celvin/NetBeansProjects/' ; Path to your repositories

; You can hide repositories from GitList, just copy this for each repository you want to hide
; hidden[] = '/var/www/projects/BetaTest'

[app]
baseurl = 'http://172.21.8.235/gitlist' ; Base URL of the application

; If you need to specify custom filetypes for certain extensions, do this here
[filetypes]
; extension = type
; dist = xml

[htaccess]
< IfModule mod_rewrite.c >
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

< Files config.ini >

• The module rewrite is correctly enabled
• if I append index.php/nameOfProject it works but in any link I have to append index.php?
• but when I want to see the commits

• GitWeb works very nice but is so ugly

[klaussilveira]

If it only works with the appended index.php, it is a clear sign that your mod_rewrite has problems. Do other applications that use mod_rewrite work correctly?

[celvin]

Yes, in the same server I rewrite other web applications, and works good...

AH! ya!
sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
there I had some "AllowOverride None" putting their value over the root directory I changed to "AllowOverride All" and...

Everything is ok now! thanks

[akjoshi]

Hi everyone,

I gave another try with fresh installation but I get the same error. Could you please check what's the error.

when you say apache conf, which file is it exactly?

$ cat config.ini
[git]
client = '/usr/bin/git' ;
#Your git executable path
#Path to your repositories (with ending slash)
repositories = '/var/www/gitlist/repo/'
[app]
baseurl = 'http://localhost/gitlist' ;
#Base URL of the application (without ending slash)

$ cat .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ /gitlist/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

<Files config.ini>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

$ cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /gitlist /var/www/gitlist
<Directory /var/www/gitlist>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

4. I set the "repo" directory permission to chmod 555

Those are the only changes I've made. Are there any other changes?

What I can do so far?

1. I can browse http://localhost/gitlist/
   This lists all the repositories.

2. I get error when I click on any one repository, ex: http://localhost/gitlist/compression.git/tree/master/
   Not Found
   The requested URL /gitlist/compression.git/tree/master/ was not found on this server.

[Nidalc]

Hi, i have a problem with gitlist.

I have the list of my projects but when i click on one i get an error :

"Oops! Unable to execute command: ls-tree -l master"

Do someone know why ?

Thanks

[Nidalc]

I found solution, in the php.ini the function proc_open was disabled.

I hope it'll help someone one day.

See ya!

[rmoen]

Ok folks. I have AllowOverride All.. Browsing through index.php doesn't work.
See: http://code.sane.ly/index.php/jrbot.git/

Any help is appreciated . Thanks

[ooichman]

all I did was to make sure the "AllowOverRide" at the /var/www/html directory was set to All and not to None ... that is it !

[xoneill007]

@chipit24: Worked for me as well FreBSD 11.x, Apache 2.4 - thanks!
