Redmine

You need bare repositories for redmine, and especially for this integration too, but it seems you're hitting your problem before that.

It seems you have installed grack, right? Do you have passenger installed too?

Indeed i have grack installed, and i use passenger version 2.2.7.

Also the repository is bare.

This is in my passenger.conf file in apache2/mods-available

<IfModule mod_passenger.c>
  PassengerRoot /usr
  PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby
  PassengerDefaultUser www-data
</IfModule>

Ok, I'll go with "passenger is working", have you put the right paths in the config.ru from grack? Also note that passenger runs grack as the user owning config.ru, please confirm this user has read (and ultimately also write) permissions on the git repositories and the whole path to there. Last place to check: have a look at your apache logs and see if anything shows up there.

I have set the permissions for the entire path to the repo the same as the config.ru permissions.

But when i look in the error.log file i get these messages

[Mon Jul 26 21:05:07 2010] [error] [client MyIp] File does not exist: /var/www/myrepo

But config.ru looks like this:

$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/lib')

use Rack::ShowExceptions

require 'lib/git_http'

config = {
  :project_root => "/srv/git",
  :git_path => '/usr/lib/git-core/git',
  :upload_pack => true,
  :receive_pack => true,
}

run GitHttp::App.new(config)

So that looks like it points to the right directory for the repositories.

The error_log entries show that your git requests don't even get served by the git.mysite.nl part because the first virtualhost already serves all request. Try adding NameVirtualHost * at the top of the file and restart apache, that should make apache aware that you want the different hostnames handled by different vhosts.

Thanks now i get the right response back.

Just out of curiosity: what or whom are you using redmine for?

For personal project, and something i am building with a friend of me.

I still have some problems with getting this to work properly.

I now have 2 repositories on my server both are created as bare repositories and linked to a public project on my redmine installation.

When i run the git clone command on one them it works normal and i get the data from the repository but when i try to clone the other i get a http 401 error. I have tried different commands to clone the repository.

On the one that works i can use the command "git clone http://git.mysite.nl/myrepo/.git" but when i try that on the other repo i get the 401 error. So i tried it with "git clone http://admin@git.mysite.nl/test" and i still get the error.

Both repositories are owned by the same users and everything is chmod to the same rights.

$ git clone http://git.mysite.nl/test
Initialized empty Git repository in g:/projects/test/test/.git/
error: The requested URL returned error: 401 while accessing http://git.mysite
.nl/test/info/refs

fatal: HTTP request failed

In my logs i cant find anything that stands out as the problem

They not only have to be linked to but also have the same name as the project's identifier. Is that the case?

Please also have a look if the misbehaving repository actually has a file called info/refs.

Thanks i've got that one working now.

The problem was that the repo didn't have the same name as the identifier, this wasn't in the documentation that i used.
