Setting up Gerrit with MySql and LDAP

[Rich Schmitt]

I've tried to set this up and really not having much luck. 

I follow the instructions that I've seen on the web and mentioned in this group.

1- First set up the database, add the user, create the database, set the permissions for the user, flush-privileges
2- initialize a gerrit installation and answer all the various questions
3- start gerrit

The web page comes up, but when I log in the first time I get a semi-black screen that says Application Error. 

The error_log shows:

I can still successfully log in.  Once I do, I can look around and see that there is an Administrator group and that I am a member of that group.  But it seems the Administrators group doesn't have any privileges.  For instance, I can list projects, I can't create any.

Any ideas?

Issue 1475 [1] is about a smililar exception, can you check that the permissions for the All-Projects repository in the file system are set correctly so that the user which is running Gerrit can access it?

Thanks alot Edwin.  That is the issue. 

I started by using the H2 database.  So the All Projects was created at that time.  I use a git repository from outside of gerrit site.  So it was reused for each git installation.  It appears that that confuses Gerrit a bit.  I also noticed that gerrit seems to add the groups to the All-Projects repo even if they already exist.

Anyway, deleting All-Projects was all I had to do.

Thanks,
Rich
