# Apache httpd 2.4 configuration for cgit. # # This is a complete httpd.conf rather than a vhost snippet, so nothing here # is included from elsewhere and no distro base config is assumed. Check it # and run it with # httpd -t -f /path/to/apache.conf # check the syntax # httpd -f /path/to/apache.conf # run it # To use it as an ordinary vhost file instead, drop everything above the # virtual hosts and let your distro's httpd.conf supply it. # # Apache runs the cgit.cgi binary directly through mod_cgid, so no FastCGI # bridge is needed. # # Paths assumed below, edit them to match your install. # cgit CGI binary /usr/lib/cgit/cgit.cgi # static assets /usr/share/cgit (cgit.css cgit.js cgit.png favicon.ico robots.txt) # cgit config /etc/cgitrc # public URL https://git.example.org/ (cgit at the domain root) # # cgit is one CGI executable. It learns the repository and the page from # PATH_INFO and reads page options such as h= and id= from QUERY_STRING. # ScriptAlias runs the binary and forwards the trailing path as PATH_INFO, so # no extra path tuning is needed. cgit builds its own link base from # SCRIPT_NAME. The five static assets are served straight off disk. mod_alias # resolves Alias and ScriptAlias in order and the first match wins, so the # static Alias lines come before the catch-all ScriptAlias to stop the two # routes from shadowing each other. # ServerRoot is what every relative path below resolves against, including the # module paths.
