How to setup gitblit in windows

Question

We need GIT server in our local server. After searched on the internet, we decided to use Gitblit which is easy to install.

But we have problems when we want to access the Gitblit from other machines. As the setup documents mentioned in the Creating your own Self-Signed Certificate', we should 'Set your hostname into the HOSTNAME variable. Here is my makekeystore.cmd file.

@SET HOSTNAME=my-server-ip<br/>
@del keystore<br/>
@java -cp gitblit.jar;"%CD%\ext\*" com.gitblit.MakeCertificate --hostname %HOSTNAME% --subject "CN=%HOSTNAME%, OU=Gitblit, O=Gitblit, L=Some Town, ST=Some State, C=US"

And we have update the gitblit.properties as followed

server.httpBindInterface = my server ip
server.httpsBindInterface = my server ip
server.httpPort = 9090
server.httpsPort = 9443

After this settings, we still can't access the Gitblit. When we input the http: my-server-ip:9090 the page can't be opened.

If we change all this values back to localhost and input http: //localhost:9090, it works.

So is there anyone know how to setup Gitblit, I have read the official document many times, but no results. Who can give me a simple?

Thanks so much! :)

Answer 1

server.httpBindInterface = my server ip
server.httpsBindInterface = my server ip

Those values allow you to configure Gitblit to bind to a particular network adapter by it's local ip address. You do not specify an outside/external ip address here. If you don't care about binding to a particular network adapter, you can leave those settings blank and Gitblit will serve 9090 and 9443 on all local network adapters available on the server.
