SmartHTTP 401 Unauthorized

I'm sure this is something I've done wrong, but I can't figure it out. I performed a fresh Redmine 1.3.0 install on Ubuntu Server 11.10 with Apache 2 and Passenger.

My Apache configuration:

LoadModule passenger_module /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.11/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so

And the Redmine log:

My basic installation procedure for all this was:

• Install Passenger from source
• Check out the latest stable SVN of Redmine 1.3.x
• Clone the latest gitolite
• Run gl-system-install and gl-setup
• Clone redmine_git_hosting
• Configure all the various server names, database settings, etc. for Redmine and redmine_git_hosting.

I'm sure I've missed something with SmartHTTP. Looks like it's an authorization problem, but I can't find where.

Help? Please? Thanks!

You probably need to make sure that password info is properly forwarded to the plugin. I don't use passenger, but for fcgid (an apache plugin), I needed to have something like the following in my conf file (in particular, the whole E=X-HTTP... piece is what is needed. I don't know how that translates to passenger, but I bet you can google it..:

<Location /redmine>
    RewriteEngine On
    # Let apache handle purely static files like images by itself.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    # Send Everything else to Typo
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [E=X-HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},QSA,L]
</Location>

@kubitron Thanks for the tip. I'll begin Googling and report back.

[sduensin]

Well, if that's the answer, I sure can't figure it out. Anyone else manage to make this work?
