Git repos not working in Redmine with Gitorious

Question

I'm trying to add GIT repos to my redmine installation.

I'm using gitorious for my remo management. According to Redmine & Git integration I added the script (http://blog.sofistes.net/2010/03/unhashing-gitorious-paths.html) wich makes symlinks to the repos. This all works fine.

But when I add such an repo to Redmine I get an error:

404 - The entry or revision was not found in the repository.

And in the log file (/var/www/redmine/default/production.log) I find:

Processing RepositoriesController#show (for 192.168.1.100 at 2012-05-31 10:46:09) [GET] Parameters: {"action"=>"show", "id"=>"test-123", "controller"=>"repositories"} Rendering template within layouts/base Rendering common/error (404) Completed in 169ms (View: 42, DB: 8) | 404 Not Found [http://redmine.test.com/projects/test-123/repository]

But when I create an git repo in, lets say, /var/www/test.com, and I add it (/var/www/test.com/.git/) to Redmine, it all words fine....

Both repos are owned by git:git and have the same permissions.

Does anybody have any suggestion what is going wrong?

Answer 1

Both repos are owned by git:git and have the same permissions.

Repositories have the same permissions but the path may not be accessible by Redmine user. You may try adding git user to www-data group

sudo usermod -a -G www-data git

Or set permissions explicitly to your repositories path:

sudo chmod 775 -R /projects
