Problem installing Gitosis

R3v4n · 2011-03-03 15:01:48

Hi,

I'm trying to install Gitosis on my server. I read the tutorial in the Wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gitosis) but I have a problem at the step "gitosis-admin repository".

I correctly set the permissions like in the wiki but I have the following error :

git clone ssh://git@r3v4n.gw-computing.net:38000/srv/gitosis/repositories/gitosis-admin.git
Cloning into gitosis-admin...
Enter passphrase for key '/home/revan/.ssh/id_dsa': 
ERROR:gitosis.serve.main:Repository read access denied
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Someone has a idea ?

Thank you,
Revan

does the git user have access to the /srv/gitosis/repositories/gitosis-admin.git and is that the right location? On my installation the git user's home directory is /srv/gitosis and I check out repositories with git clone git@myserver:project.git. I also tried it your way and was able to check out a project with git clone ssh://git@myserver/project.git

Thanks for your answer.

yes it's the right location. I'm sure about that :-)

And the git user has the access to the repository which has a 700 chmod. The owner is git and the group is git too.

Check the perms on the gitosis-admin repo recursively. Maybe the top level dir was just chmod/chown and not the subtree?

Yes I did a chmod -R

[root@apophis /srv/gitosis/repositories] # ls -l
total 4
drwx------ 8 git git 4096 Mar 13 13:47 gitosis-admin.git
[root@apophis /srv/gitosis/repositories] # cd gitosis-admin.git

[root@apophis ...itories/gitosis-admin.git] #

I even tried with a chmod 777, but it does not work either.

I found the solution :

If you run SSH on a non-standard port on your server, don't use the syntax "git@myserver.com:1234:/foo/bar", it won't work. Putting the port in the URL doesn't seem to make gitosis, or git, (not sure which) happy. Instead, put this in your ~/.ssh/config file:
Host myserver.com
  Port 1234
