Gitweb on uhttpd [Solved]

[kofec]

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to setup gitweb on my NAS on openwrt.
I have installed lighhttpd and even Luci works.
I am probably having a problem with the correct lighttpd configuration.
I added the file:

root@RpiTestowe:/home/git# cat /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/20-gitweb.conf 
server.modules += ( "mod_alias", "mod_cgi", "mod_redirect", "mod_setenv" )

url.redirect += ( "^/gitweb$" => "/gitweb/" )
alias.url += ( "/gitweb/" => "/www/gitweb/" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/gitweb/" {
       setenv.add-environment = (
               "GITWEB_CONFIG" => "/etc/gitweb.conf",
               "PATH" => env.PATH
       )
       cgi.assign = ( ".cgi" => "/usr/bin/perl" )
       server.indexfiles = ( "gitweb.cgi" )
}

In logs I see

What to change ? What can I check? For now, I want it to be as root - I do it on test hardware (raspberry) before I put it on the target device (NAS)

Hi, No one is using gitweb ?

[lleachii]

• I've moved this to the For Developers section for you.
• You're running a software repository from your router...interesting
• You got LuCI running on lighhttpd...wow!

Configuration:
install git-gitweb package.
Adding a missing dependency on perlbase-filetest and perlbase-storable

Assuming you have a standard luci install (i.e. uhttpd installed), you can see gitweb at http://your-host/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi. You may want to set up an alias so that you don't have to use that URL:

in /etc/config/uhttpd you could add

        list index_page 'gitweb.cgi'
        list index_page 'index.html'
        list alias '/git=/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi'

(Not sure if the index_page thing is required, but it works for me).

With that config you can point at http://your-host/git and see what gitweb is publishing.

Other than that standard you'd do standard gitweb configs you can search.
