Re: [gitorious] Access denied or bad repository path for "admin"

[Thomas Kjeldahl Nilsson]

Hi Ben,

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)

cheers,
Thomas

Ah. Just checking:


* "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)

RAILS_ENV=production script/runner "puts Repository.regular.all.map{|r|r.gitdir}"

 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".

All I can think of off the top of my head..

cheers
Thomas

git-daemon etc are being run by the "git" user.

So I'm guessing that's not it.

Thanks for the try though.

I have not solved it. Haven't been trying either. But my next attempt would be by testing push for a regular user (not admin).
