Apache 2.4 git, subversion and public projects

Added by Thimios Dimopulos about 9 years ago

I am running Redmine 2.6 on Apache 2.4 service subversion and git repositories.

The authentication works for both subversion and git, but I cannot get anonymous read only access for public projects to work. If I add the "Satisfy any" directive and enable the access_compat apache module, then I do get anonymous access, but no authentication is performed any more.

Does anyone have a working installation serving both subversion and git repositories on apache 2.4 with proper authentication and public project support? Could you share your apache configuration with me?

Here is my conf and environment info:

Hi

I've the same problem and a nearly identical config but in your config I cannot see finally what's the the trick you got the public git repository working.

Thanks in advance
