# Apache httpd configuration for cgit.
#
# Written for the httpd 2.4 branch, at 2.4.69 when last reviewed.
#
# 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. It is /etc/httpd on RHEL and Fedora and /etc/apache2 on Debian
# and Ubuntu, where the modules live in /usr/lib/apache2/modules and the
# LoadModule lines need that absolute path instead of the relative one.
ServerRoot /etc/httpd
PidFile    /var/run/httpd.pid

# Where Apache puts its runtime scratch, the mutexes and the SSL session
# cache. It is /var/run/httpd on RHEL and Fedora and /var/run/apache2 on
# Debian and Ubuntu. The directory has to exist and be writable before Apache
# starts, which is normally the packaging's job.

# mod_cgid suits the threaded MPMs that ship by default. Use mod_cgi instead
# only on the old prefork MPM. mod_alias provides Alias and ScriptAlias,
# mod_env provides SetEnv, and the rest are the core pieces a standalone
# config cannot do without. On Debian and Ubuntu run
#     a2enmod cgid alias env headers expires ssl
# rather than editing these lines. The guards make double-loading harmless.
