How to install Gogs on OpenSUSE leap 42.3

And then move to your Apache document root by running the following command.

linuxhelp:~ # cd /srv/www/htdocs/
linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs # ls -l
total 16
drwxrwxrwx 2 wwwrun www  4096 Oct  9 23:15 gif
drwxr-xr-x 5 root   root 4096 Aug 15 22:48 gogs
-rwxrwxrwx 1 wwwrun www  2356 Mar 18  2017 info2html.css

After that, you should provide appropriate owner and file execution permissions with the help of the following commands.

linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs/gogs # chown -R wwwrun:www /srv/www/htdocs/
linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs/gogs # chmod -R 775 /srv/www/htdocs/

Once it is done, you need to configure the Apache VirtualHost for Gogs, and for that you need to open the .conf file. So run the following command for the same purpose.

linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs/gogs # vim /etc/apache2/conf.d/gogs.conf

Once the .conf file is opened, you should make the following configuration.

< VirtualHost *:80> 
DocumentRoot " /srv/www/htdocs" 
ServerName www.linuxhelp1.com
< Directory " /srv/www/htdocs/" > 
DirectoryIndex index.php
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
< /Directory> 
< /VirtualHost> 

And when it is done, you shall restart your Apache service as follows.

linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs/gogs # systemctl restart apache

You should also install Git which is very essential for the installation of Gogs.

linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs/www:~ # zypper in git

Once the Git is installed, find its location by running the following command. Run the following command for the same process.

linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs  # which git
/usr/bin/git

Add the git path in environment variable by running the following command.

linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs # export PATH=" /usr/bin/git:$PATH" 

Now, get into the gogs directory and check your default port number.
