6 GWVP stands for "git over web via php". It was written for one purpose of
7 being a quick and simple way of getting a git repo online using only usernames
8 and passwords rather then having to deal with ssh keys.
14 You'll need to add following packages:
17 sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite git apache2 php5-cli
20 Assuming you clone the repository into /opt/gwvp you will then need to make
21 some changes to the rewrite, apache and gwvp configuration (assuming /gwvp
26 This goes in /etc/apache2/conf.d/gwvp.conf
28 Alias /gwvp /opt/gwvp/www
30 <Directory /opt/gwvp/www>
31 DirectoryIndex index.php
38 Edit the file /opt/gwvp/www/.htaccess and change the top line to match your
49 in /opt/gwvp/www/config.php data directory is (by default) /opt/gwvp/data
50 This directory must be read/write by the apache user. The following will
51 give the apache user write access to the file system:
54 mkdir -p /opt/gwvp/data
55 sudo chown www-data:www-data /opt/gwvp/data
58 Done - now you should browse to http://yourmachine/gwvp and login as admin
59 or user with a password of "password". Hopefully the rest is fairly straight
60 forward and self-explanitory, but there will be a help system coming soon(tm)
