Help with installing cgit

[shlomit.afgin]

Hi

I download from http://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/refs/  the file cgit-0.9.2.tar.xz
I follow the instruction in README:
     make get-git
     make
     make install
     Edit Apache conf file and add
        <Directory "/var/www/htdocs/cgit/">
          AllowOverride None
          Options +ExecCGI
          Order allow,deny
          Allow from all
        </Directory>
     I also add alias:
        Alias /cgit  /var/www/htdocs/cgit/

When I go to http://server.domain/cgit I get the following error:
    You don't have permission to access /cgit/ on this server
    And In the error_log I get:
        Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/htdocs/cgit/
I tried to add to 'Options' the +Indexes, So I get the list of the content but the cgit did not work.

Also I did not find instruction, how to set the file cgit.conf in order to change the place of cgit files location.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Shlomit.

The "cgit" program is a CGI executable that you need to run.  Do you
have "cgit" in /var/www/htdocs/cgit/ ?  If so, what happens if you go to
http://your.domain/cgit/cgit ?

I have the following in my Apache config for CGit:

    <Location /cgit>
            RewriteEngine on
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
            RewriteRule ^/var/www/localhost/htdocs/cgit(.*) /cgi-bin/cgit.cgi$1 [L,PT]
    </Location>

This rewrites all requests under /cgit to go to the "cgit" program in
/cgi-bin/.

There is some more information on Apache's CGI support here [1].

[1] http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/cgi.html

You can either specify CGIT_CONFIG in the environment under which CGit
runs (e.g. using Apache's "SetEnv" directive) or just change the default
when you build CGit by setting CGIT_CONFIG in the "cgit.conf" file
that's included by the makefile.


Hope this helps,
John

I have /var/www/htdocs/cgit/cgit.cgi and when I go to
http://server.domain/cgit/cgit.cgi,
It try to open the file (and as where to save it) instead of run it.
My /cgi-bin is empty
Thanks,

Do you have a suitable "AddHandler" directive?  The link I gave below
has a section on how to use ExecCGI and says you will need something
like this:

    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

I'm sorry, I did not had the 'Addhandler'.
Now I get a web page, but when I click on the link I get a regular browse
of the directory in the web.
I cannot see the files exist in the repository.

Thanks. 

Now I get the page on the web but it look like regular browse of directory

Sorry, I'm not an expert on configuring Apache.  I recommend you read
the CGI tutorial linked above thoroughly.

Do you have CGit's "virtual-root" configuration turned on?  It will
probably be simpler to disable that.

Thank you very much!
I comment the "virtual-root" line and now it's seem to work.
Thanks.
