Very good tutorial!!

I followed all steps but in the last one "git push origin master" I got:

Fetching remote heads...
refs/
refs/heads/
refs/tags/
updating 'refs/heads/master'
from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
to 142db43d8dbf3df1e370a5f0c1599971e51ebc80
Unable to lock remote branch refs/heads/master
Updating remote server info
PUT error: curl result=22, HTTP code=403
fatal: git-http-push failed

My log file:

I'm on Mac Lion server 10.7.5 for server repository and Ma Mountain Lion for client repository.

Can you help me, please!?

Thank you very much

Hi,

I am also experiencing same issue as stated by Averias (above) .
Any update on resolving this ?

Thanks author for an excellent article.
To fix the curl issue here is what you can do

$cd /Library/WebServer/Documents
$sudo chown -R _www:_www gitprojects

This will fix it.

I have created the script for directory creation. this could be passed a parameter also. Here it is creating scm.git

sudo mkdir -p /Library/WebServer/Documents/gitprojects
cd /Library/WebServer/Documents/gitprojects
sudo mkdir scm.git
cd scm.git/
sudo git --bare init
cd hooks/
sudo cp post-update.sample post-update
cd /Library/WebServer/Documents/gitprojects
sudo chown -R _www:_www scm.git/
cd scm.git/hooks/
sudo -u _www ./post-update
sudo git --bare update-server-info
cd ..
sudo git --bare update-server-info
cd /Library/WebServer/Documents/
sudo chown -R _www:_www gitprojects
sudo apachectl restart
~

Apache wasn't working for me (on OS X 10.10.1) after I created /etc/apache2/other/gitprojects.conf.

Running `sudo apachectl -t` told me (in a more detailed message that I didn't save): "Invalid command 'DavLockDB'".

After quite a bit of searching, I eventually found the following lines were commented out in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:


LoadModule dav_module libexec/apache2/mod_dav.so
...
LoadModule dav_fs_module libexec/apache2/mod_dav_fs.so
LoadModule dav_lock_module libexec/apache2/mod_dav_lock.so


I uncommented them it Apache then worked.
