Git setup instaweb httpd to use apache2 on OSX Leopard server

Question

By default, git instaweb expects a lighttpd web server, while on OSX Leopard apache2 is standard.

Adding the following to .git / config:

[instaweb]
local = true
httpd = apache2 -f
port = 4321
modulepath = /usr/libexec/apache2

and start ' git instaweb' results in:

apache2 not found.  
Install apache2 or use --httpd to specify another httpd daemon.

How do I configure .git/configit to use my default web server?

thanks

Answer 1

The reason is that apache2 is called httpd in OS X, and the modules are located somewhere else. I tried to change the configuration so that it pointed to the correct paths, but still the server was not working.

webrick. ~/.gitconfig( ) .git/config ( ):

[instaweb]
               httpd = webrick

Answer 2

git-instaweb 2009 , :

# check if server can be executed
httpd_only="$(echo $httpd | cut -f1 -d' ')"
if ! type $httpd_only >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo >&2 "$httpd_only not found. Install $httpd_only or use" \
           + "--httpd to specify another httpd daemon."
fi

apache2?
