|
| | | Confirm that the <context-param> *realm.userService* value in your `web.xml` file actually points to a `users.properties` file.

|
| | | ### Gitblit won't open my grouped repository (/group/myrepo.git) or browse my log/branch/tag/ref?!
|
| | | This is likely an url encoding/decoding problem with forward slashes:
|
| | |
| | | Tomcat takes the extra precaution of [disallowing embedded slashes by default](http://tomcat.apache.org/security-6.html#Fixed_in_Apache_Tomcat_6.0.10). This breaks Gitblit urls.
|
| | | You have a few options on how to handle this scenario:
|
| | |
|
| | | 1. [Tweak Tomcat](http://tomcat.apache.org/security-6.html#Fixed_in_Apache_Tomcat_6.0.10) |
| | | 1. [Tweak Tomcat](http://tomcat.apache.org/security-6.html#Fixed_in_Apache_Tomcat_6.0.10) |
| | | Add *org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH=true* to *CATALINA_OPTS*
|
| | | 2. *web.mountParameters = false* and use non-pretty, parameterized urls
|
| | | 3. *web.forwardSlashCharacter = !* which tells Gitblit to use **!** instead of **/**

| | | Gitblit will run just fine with a JRE. Gitblit can optionally use `keytool` from the JDK to generate self-signed certificates, but normally Gitblit uses [BouncyCastle][bouncycastle] for that need.

|
| | | ### Does Gitblit use a database to store its data?
|
| | | No. Gitblit stores its repository configuration information within the `.git/config` file and its user information in `users.properties` or whatever filename is configured in `gitblit.properties`.

|
| | | ### Can I manually edit users.conf, users.properties, gitblit.properties, or .git/config?
|
| | | Yes. You can manually manipulate all of them and (most) changes will be immediately available to Gitblit.<br/>Exceptions to this are noted in `gitblit.properties`.
