Hello Michael,

thanks for responding.
The first tip I came across was the Stackoverflow HowTo - whatever I did and 
do, it
doesn't work. I also tried the several variants shown in [0], starting with the 
simplest
towards more complex ones.

Following strictly the reference at 

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26734933/how-to-set-up-git-over-http

with minor local adaptions (for FreeBSD and the Git base folder), even with 
anonymous
access allowed the failure is the same as with some Basic authentication via 
LDAP.

As decribed in my initial email: first access with a "git push -u origin 
master" is
logged by Apache with 401, requesting credentials. If provided, the line
(httpd-access.log):

xx.xx.xx.xx - USERNAME [29/Mar/2021:17:44:55 +0000] "GET \
/git/test.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 1689032 "-" 
"git/2.31.0" \
323 1691601

status code 200 indicates OK - so authetication is all right and I should 
proceed, but I
get on the client

fatal: https://[url]/git/test.git/info/refs not valid: could not
determine hash algorithm; is this a git repository?

On both sides, I had disabled sslVerify (due to self signed cert issue with 
git, another
pitfall) and according to stackoverflow howto, hooks are also prepared and the 
root
folder and its subsequent folders /pool/gitbase (PROJECT_ROOT) is owned by 
www:www and
has ACL 0775 set.

And this is why it gets desperate to me ...

Kind regards,

O. Hartmann
