Unable to push a directory over smart-http

I've been going a this for two days in a row now, and I'm giving up on finding the solution all by myself. I am trying to set up Redmine on a server - that part went well. I am also trying to install a git repository, but although I've been able to clone and pull perfectly well via SSH, I'm having a rough time doing the same over HTTP.

First of all, here is the verbose git push error:

================================================================

================================================================

So there are obviously some misconfigured rights, eventhough I've temporarily chmodded my repository folder to 777.

I reckon you'll also be interested in apache's configuration:

================================================================

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

So if someone would be so kind as to give me a hint about what to do, I'd really be grateful. Thanks in advance!

Okay, problem solved :) This is the tutorial to follow to the letter:

http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/HowTo_configure_Redmine_for_advanced_git_integration

In my case, the final entry looks like:

PerlLoadModule Apache::Redmine

Alias /git/ "/var/cache/git/public/"
<Directory "/git/">
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<Location "/git/">
    DAV on
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "My Git Repository"
    Require valid-user

    PerlAccessHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::access_handler
    PerlAuthenHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::authen_handler

    RedmineDSN "DBI:mysql:database=redmine;host=localhost"
    RedmineDbUser "redmine" 
    RedmineDbPass "XXXXXXX" 
    RedmineGitSmartHttp yes
</Location>

You don't seem to be using any authentication. By default, git only allows pushing via smart-http when authentication is used.

You should be able to either add a username to the url you are using and it will prompt you for a password, or you can set the username and password in the _netrc file.
