Hi, I've set up your awesome product on a private work server (freebsd) behind a reverse proxy (pound) and using a numeric ip address as the hostname.
>From the outside world I can log into the gitorious web app, create users, ssh keys (with state: ready), teams, projects, and repositories, and I can access the server via ssh, and I've previously used gitosis on this server - accessing it with git from my remote (home based) workstation. But from the same remote workstation, I can't git push to gitorious and my efforts give me the error in the subject line of this post. Here's what I do: ---------------------- After creating a repository in gitorious web app, on my workstation I do: mkdir -p ~/mytestgitproject cd ~/mytestgitproject touch .gitignore git init git add . git commit -m "Initial commit" git remote add origin git@my-numeric-ip-address:myproject/mainline.git But when I do: git push origin master Error: -------------- Access denied or bad repository path fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly This echoes the gitorious_auth.log on the server: INFO -- : Connection from "my-numeric-ip-address 58884 22" (git): git- receive-pack 'myproject/myrepository.git' INFO -- : Executing read/write command for "git": "git-receive-pack 'myproject/myrepository.git' INFO -- : Access denied or bad repository path for "git": "git-receive- pack 'myproject/myrepository.git' The ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file shows gitorious is creating and deleting ssh key for my gitorious admin user "git" upon request in the gitorious web app. (In a previous test I used the default login name "admin" but neither works.) Some tutorials I've read suggest naming the gitorious admin user git but reading other posts in this group it would seem admin user can be called anything. Is this true? And the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file shows gitorious has prefixed the following to the info I copied and pasted into gitorious from my workstation public rsa key: command="gitorious git",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent- forwarding,no-pty So it should be using this command when I do a push. I tested to see if the 'no-port-forwarding part' may be preventing outside connection, as standard ssh and git ports are port-forwarded to our internal server running gitorious, but deleting this part hasn't fixed the problem, and our reverse proxy pound only listens for https and thus has no impact on ssh or git, and again, I have no problem ssh-ing to this server from outside world and previously had no problem using git remotely with it. I've been over and over many tutorials and checked the permissions for all directories, created a tmp/pid dir, etc. It appears the error is caused by one or both of the following: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. my using a numeric IP for the host values in gitorious.yml and the session??.rb file in gitorious. But I can run and access the gitorious web app without problems from the outside web, it creates a cookie, and it allows me to perform functions like create users, projects, repo's, ssh keys, etc, and search using sphinx. 2. Perhaps I am not running the right daemons? Some tutorials state I should start activemq and stompserver and others only use activemq, and from what I've found doing web search they appear similar in purpose, but I'm still confused about that. Running both doesn't fix the problems I'm having, so I'm not currently running stompserver as it doesn't fix problem, it only runs as root - shows error if I run it as git user, and from research activemq is considered better. Should I be running both? I manually start the following services in the listed order before starting gitorious via accessing it in the web browser. Failing to run any of these breaks one or more parts of gitorious's web app functionality. i. activemq runs as root:nogroup as recommended in its doc's. (I tried user: nobody but it didn't start) ii. git-daemon runs as git usr. iii. poller runs as git user. Thanks for reading this long post - I wanted to provide all needed info. What can I test to find the error or am I doing some ignorant thing? -- To post to this group, send email to gitorious@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gitorious+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com
