Installing GIT as Server on Plesk / Centos 5

[mk.keck]

Hi,

I'm planning for a big project to install on my rootserver git as a repository server.
Has any body done this successfully and may be able to explain step by step?

Many thanks

Look at this solution. Maybe it will help.

Did you get GIT running? I have problems adding users! I could use some Plesk support for version control systems.

Currently Plesk has no specific support for version control systems. You can just treat a Plesk server as a 'normal' server in this case and follow the regular documentation for the version control system you want to use.

I have a customer that's requesting to create a local GIT repository. How can I add GIT to his chroot'd environment?

For posterity: I was able to chroot the git client by combining these two articles...

To summarize, however:

# mkdir -p /var/www/vhosts/example.com/var/lib/rpm
# rpm --root /var/www/vhosts/example.com/var/lib/rpm --initdb
# yum --downloadonly --downloaddir=/tmp reinstall centos-release
# rpm -Uvh --nodeps --root /var/www/vhosts/example.com/ /tmp/centos-release-6-4.el6.centos.10.x86_64.rpm 
# yum --installroot=/var/www/vhosts/example.com/ -y install git
