I installed gitorious successfully on my own host. I created a project with 3 repositories.
First I cloned it via the ssh-link, added some files, did a commit and tried to push changes. This said the url is readonly.
Then I tried following the "getting started" commands you see on fresh repositories on the gitorious instance. So I created a repository, added some files, did a commit and then I added the remote source. (copy paste commands, so I'm sure there're no typo's) Then finally: git push origin master
=> "access denied or wrong repository path"
my ssh-key is added: $ ssh -T g...@git.myhost Welcome, admin. Use git to push/pull your repositories
So authentication works. I wondered if perhaps it was an ssl problem, but as far as I know of git protocol or ssh protocol don't have anything to do with ssl. I tried using the https url and then indeed it complains that the certificate couldn't be certified (as it is a self-signed one).
So finally I take a look at the logs from gitorious, gitorious-auth log: I, [2012-08-22 20:02:07#18243] INFO -- : Connection from "78.22.254.163 52366 22" (admin): git-receive-pack 'home/website.git' I, [2012-08-22 20:02:07#18243] INFO -- : Access denied or bad repository path for "admin": "git-receive-pack 'home/website.git'"
That's about all I could think of checking on top of my head. Any further ideas?
sounds like it might be a permissions/ownership issue. The first thing you can check:
- Which user/group owns the repo base path (specified in config/gitorious.yml, specifies the dir under which all repositories are stored). Should be owned by the 'gitorious_user' specified in /config/gitorious.yml
- Now, which user is running the gitorious scripts (git-daemon etc)? Should be the same user as below.
(My hunch is that the repo base folder is owner by root or some other user than the one owning/running the gitorious processes)

* "git" owns the surrounding folders all the way up to and including the one specified in 'repository_base_path' (see config/gitorious.yml)?
* You can pull out the stored git paths by running the following one-liner in the root of you gitorious installation (one level up from the config/ dir)
I'd suggest verifying that all the thus listed paths both exist (they are relative to 'repository_base_path') and have correct permissions "above and below".

Thanks -- I thought I would reply because I'm in exactly the same situation. Configuration looks OK but I get this permissions issue when pushing as admin. I've run the one-liner as you've suggested and it has returned a lot of the first two lines and then the paths of the repos:
Gem::SourceIndex#add_spec called from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/sour ce_index.rb:127. NOTE: Gem::SourceIndex#add_spec is deprecated, use Specification.add_spec. It wi ll be removed on or after 2011-11-01. Gem::SourceIndex#add_spec called from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/sour ce_index.rb:127. do-something-good/do-something-good.git innotate/innotate.git innobridge/innobridge.git
Folder ownership is git, which corresponds to the user in gitorious.yml. I've tried chmod 777 on the folder to see if it would make a difference and it hasn't.
Thanks, K
