Create /etc/default/gerritcodereview containing the line:
GERRIT_SITE=/path/to/gerrit

(so that $GERRIT_SITE/etc/gerrit.config works)

FWIW, I never use /etc/default/gerritcodereview.

I do:

cd $site_path
./bin/gerrit.sh restart

Typically gerrit.sh is able to discover site_path for itself by
looking one directory up.

Hi I am also having this error and struggling. I wonder if you can help

Within home/gerrit/gerritetc/ : I have the gerrit.config

Within here I have my path to the gerrit url as http://IP_ADDRESS:8080/

What do I need to do to get gerrit to a: Start and b: start on boot if the machine is rebooted.

the person who configured this has added an etc gerrit folder does this affect anything?
