Gitweb hosted using apache2 - Root folder can only be set in /home

92 views Asked by At

I am trying to make the root directory for my gitweb to be a media drive (eg. /media/pi/my_usb)

In my /etc/gitweb.conf I have the following root: $projectroot = "/home/git"; With this I am able to see all repositories in this directory, which is what I want.

But when I change the root directory to (this is what I want): $projectroot = "/media/pi/my_usb/my_repo"; With this at my root directory, It tells me that my directory is empty and there are no repositories.

Mounted the usb drive so that the owner of could be changed.

Then made sure that the owner of /etc/gitweb.conf was the same as the project root (usb drive).

Now all the repositories can be detected and used.
