git repository browsing impossible with passenger/modrails

Added by Raphaël Bauduin over 16 years ago

Hi,

I have installed redmine to hangle a git project. I have alredy deployed several redmines in this config, but ran the app with mongrel or even webrick.
Now I try to run it with passenger/mod_rails and encounter a problem: the url /repositories/show/myproject lists the last commits, but doesn't show the repository browser.
Running the same installation with webrick, under the user redmine used by passenger to run the app, I get the repository browser displayed.

Looking at the template, there's this code:


  <% if !@entries.nil? && authorize_for('repositories', 'browse') %>
  <h3><%= l(:label_browse) %></h3>
  <%= render :partial => 'dir_list' %>
  <% end %>

And with passenger @entries is nil. It is set like this in the controller: @entries = @repository.entries('', @rev)

Does any one have a hint on how to correct this problem?

Thanks

Raph

I'm not sure what this exact problem is, but I can verify that repository browsing does work with Passenger. I am running a Redmine instance through Passenger now and and browse a few git repos.

Hey Jim,

Thanks for the info already! It means I have to search further :-)

What are the user rights and apache config in your setup?
I run redmine under the redmine user, the git repo is a shared repository owned by user git:git at /var/lib/git/myrepo , and redmine is in the group git.

HEre's my apache config:

DocumentRoot /usr/local/railsapps/redmine/public
      RailsEnv development

User redmine can clone the git repo. And the application run with webrick shows the repository browser.

Any hint welcome!

FYI, this was due to Redmine not finding the git executable when run with passenger.
I solved it by editing lib/redmine/scm/adapters/git_adapter.rb and changing the value of GIT_BIN to /usr/local/git/bin/git

Does this have to do with the fact that your should be pointing to /var/lib/git/myrepo/.git instead of /var/lib/git/myrepo as indicated by you above?

If this is the case, then there shouldn't be a need for you to modify git_adapter.rb file.

Aha. This worked for me also. Thanks Raph.

My environment is OS X Server, but I use many packages from the macports project (including ruby, rails, git, etc.) Since OS X comes with some of these tools, being careful about environment and paths becomes crucial if you don't want to use the built-in apps and services. I had a similar problem with subversion and various ssl libraries.

This makes me wonder. Is there a place in the Redmine config system to specify environment variables to control this sort of thing? It would be nice to have a place outside the source tree to say "this is where my git lives, this is where my svn lives" etc.

PS @ Calvin -- my repo's work fine now without being suffixed by .git. The key thing appears to be that they be created --bare.
