private git server on ubuntu help.
First off let me tell you i'm definitely very far from a linux user. I just copy paste stuff here and there and i manage to do a few things but in the end i have no idea what i'm doing.

So. We're in the process of migrating our old loca svn server to a different machine and since git is the word, i thought we should take the opportunity to do the switch. 

The server is of course a linux machine. Ubuntu 11.10

So far i managed to clone the svn repo into a git repo on the new machine. Then i tried following some guides to deploy it as a web service so people on my network connect via http://repo/folder/ but i failed at some, and couldn't follow others. 

Eventually i simply cloned (as bare) the git repo into the www folder and i am able to see it now from the other computers in the lan. Using sourcetree( a mac version control app) i can actually do my local cloning of the server and stuff, but if i want to push those changes into the server it fails. Currently the failure mentions a connection refused at port 80. But i know for a fact that by just cloning it into the var/www folder i was going to end up in trouble sooner or later. 

I'm ok with restarting this whole process from the start again because as i feel i may have broken or changed some important stuff here and there on the server and i can't even remember all the changes.

So... Well. My question would be if you can help me out by pointing me to the right direction or the best instructions or simply the ones you used to go about doing this. I'm desperate. Thanks in advance
