I have been trying to install git on my website hosted through
bluehost. I was able to install the git binaries fine on my account however when I tried to configure gitweb repository on my website, I found the following in the README in the gitweb source directory:
Code:
Webserver configuration
-----------------------
If you want to have one URL for both gitweb and your http://
repositories, you can configure apache like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName git.example.org
DocumentRoot /pub/git
SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/gitweb.conf
RewriteEngine on
# make the front page an internal rewrite to the gitweb script
RewriteRule ^/$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
# make access for "dumb clients" work
RewriteRule ^/(.*\.git/(?!/?(HEAD|info|objects|refs)).*)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi%{REQUEST_URI} [L,PT]
</VirtualHost>
I am not sure where do I put these lines. Had it been my own local Linux system I could have su to root and added the above lines in /etc/apache/conf.d/git.conf but this is an account from bluehost website hosting company and I am not sure how do I access the apache configuration file.
Thanks
