Git+Redmine: The entry or revision was not found in the repository

Hi guys !

I'm trying to access a git repository with Redmine. Unfortunately, I'm not able to do this, here is the error given :

The entry or revision was not found in the repository.

Here is my configuration:

SCM: Git
Main Repository: Checked
Identifier: wide
Path to repository: /var/repos/git/wide
Path encoding: UTF-8

I tried several things. After cloning my non-bare repository into a bare repository, I tried these several paths:

/var/repos/git/wide
/var/repos/git/wide/.git
/var/repos/git/wide.git
/var/repos/git/wide.git/.git

I also tried to change the owner of my git repository to apache (as apache runs Redmine).

Any help would be appreciated.
Regards.

Hello Cedric,

You have to make a first commit to prevent this error.
You can make that commit after initializing your bare repo.

Cheers,

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your reply.
Actually, my Git repository already had commits.

Do you mean I need to do a dummy commit after cloning my initial repository into a bare one ?

BR,
Cedric

Edit:
I forgot to add that i'm under a CentOS 7, and thus, so I installed redmine myself, not by using any package.
When I try to access the git repository by using Redmine web interface, apache gives the following :

App 15772 stderr: fatal: Not a git repository: '/var/repos/git/wide'

But when I go inside this repository, it is a git repository..

Hi,

It looks like redmine is trying to do a git --git-dir=/var/repos/git/wide' log.
Actually, the result of this command is OK.

the owner of the /var/repos/git repository is apache.
And I set PassengerUser apache.

Still got the problem.

Is there any log I can check in order to get more information ?
I already checked the production.log and below is what i get:

The first request looks like I've just added the repository to the project.
The second one is when I clicked on the repository.

Maybe this is something related to an SELinux error, but i can't find anything in the logs.

Did you found a solution for this?

I have successfully cloned all my git repos in gitlab, and done an ansible role that could help anyone:

Hope this will help you.
