User files generated with htdigest and htpasswd are not compatible. Thus, htpasswd must be used with AuthType Basic. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <[email protected]>
Apache process doesn’t have write permissions for the /opt/git/ subdirectories. Restore the paragraph from this section: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v1/Git-on-the-Server-Public-Access. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <[email protected]>
There is an issue with the authentication section. The initial ref advertisement request will fail without even giving an opportunity for authentication. This is described in the git-http-backend man page examples. Update authentication section according to the example to fix the problem. Merge the section with the git-core access authorization section for brevity. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <[email protected]>

Issues arise during the very basic setup of Smart HTTP using the tutorial.
Thus, if AuthType Basic is used, htdigest must be changed to htpasswd.
The fix also resolves book errata #122.
To address this, I suggest restoring the paragraph from this section:
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v1/Git-on-the-Server-Public-Access.
Namely,
$ chgrp -R www-data /opt/git.The initial ref advertisement request will fail without even giving an opportunity for authentication.
This is described in the git-http-backend man page examples: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-http-backend.html
I have updated and simplified the authentication paragraph from the example to fit the context.
Also, the paragraph is merged with the git-core access authorization paragraph for brevity.
