Help on CGIT

Howdy people, 

Since i cannot find any CGIT web interface mailing list on their webpage,
i'm asking here. 

I have CGIT working at 50%. 

The 1st page show's correctly, but when i click the project name, it
becames unconfigured and wierd, and apache complains about this: 

[Tue Dec 29 12:12:25 2009] [error] [client 192.168.1.3] [cgit] Unable to
lock slot /var/cache/cgit/53200000.lock: No such file or directory (2)

My apache configuration for CGIT is: 

 AllowOverride None
 Options ExecCGI
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all

 DirectoryIndex cgit.cgi

 AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl

Am i missing something else? I've asked google but there's not much info
on
the web about it. 

Thanks,
Jorge,

lock slot /var/cache/cgit/53200000.lock: No such file or directory (2)

Does the directory /var/cache/cgit/ exist?

Yap, with 777.
But the parent dirs don't, they have 755 the debian default, and both /var
& /var/log owner by root.
I also tryed to make /var & /var/log/ be owner by apache's user (www-data)
but nothing, and also tried make them 777 aswell, the same.
This lock dir can't be configureable?

That's what they're supposed to be.

Probably, don't know much about cgit. One thing, are you using selinux?
What does sestatus show?

no SELinux compiled or active on kernel.
don't even have setools installed on the system.
I'm out of ideas :(
The info on the web about CGIT is rare... don't find an answer for this.

First, check if cgit works correctly with caching disabled (set
cache-size=0 in /etc/cgitrc).

My apache configuration for CGIT is:

 AllowOverride None
 Options ExecCGI
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all

 DirectoryIndex cgit.cgi

 AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl

What's the contents of /etc/cgitrc? Which cgit-version are you running?

This is what I do:
ScriptAlias /cgit /var/www/cgit-files/cgit.cgi

You need a new cgit to use that properly, I use 0.8.3.

I tried that way, no luck, apache always show on the errors that cannot
create the lock slot and it show all unconfigured on the page.

ScriptAlias /cgit /var/www/cgit-files/cgit.cgi

Forgot to say, i'm running the last git version so i believe i'm updated
for that.

Guys!

I changed on /etc/cgitrc:

css=cgit.css
logo=cgit.png

to:

css=/cgit/cgit.css
logo=/cgit/cgit.png

Forcing the path for the files to be from the root did the trick!
Thanks you all this the help!
