Can't make a hook work in bonobo git server

Question

I added bonobo git server to a windows server so that i can store the repos of the company projects in the server. I also want to make automatic deployments using git hooks. As bonobo git server is a web application i thought i couldn't use git hooks. I did some research and found out it is possible to run them. (someone's blog , stackoverflow post which leads to here). I created the hook but apparently it is not working.

My hook is stored at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Bonobo.Git.Server\App_Data\Repositories\test\hooks with name post-update (no file type specified) :

#!/bin/sh

echo post-update

In my PC, i added the new remote using git remote add dev <url to repo>

When i run git push dev master the changes are pushed to the server but the hook is not run.

I followed the installation instructions from bonobo.

I'm not sure if the problem might be that apparently i used IIS v.6 instead of v.8 to configure the app (i'm not sure about this but i suspect that the version is the 6th)

The permissions App_data folder within bonobo.git.server folder

I opened IIS ,converted bonobo.git.server to an application and configured the authentication:

all of the above as specified in bonobo installation.

To see if what was wrong was the hook itself, i created a bare repo within my computer.

The result i get when pushing to the server using the same hook is :

Any idea of what is wrong ?

Answer 1

The reason the hook was not working is that my web.config was not configured properly.

I changed all of the routes to absolute routes

Example :

Changed

<add key="GitPath" value="~\App_Data\Git\git.exe" />

To

<add key="GitPath" value="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Bonobo.Git.Server\App_Data\Git\git.exe" />
