I can confirm the same problem on Ubuntu 12.10 with Apache installed using all the default options
sudo serve-branches file:///location/ --allow-writes #works without correct permissions being set sudo serve-branches file:///location/ #works, as long as permissions are set accordingly. sudo serve-branches /location does work only with --allow-writes #worked when tested with correct permissions at this point in time, configuration through the Apache proxy, and via the pre-defined service has been problematic, and is currently not starting, most of the tutorials do not take into account that the service is pre-installed and running already following the use of apt- get. Following attempts to configure for Apache my service from init.d will not start, and I am now trying to debug the problem and hopefully make some edits to the pre-configured script and setup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948825 Title: Loggerhead unable to serve as deamon behind apache To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/loggerhead/+bug/948825/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
