Permission error when viewing a git diff

Added by Jeremy Ross almost 12 years ago

I get the following error when viewing any git diff in redmine. The web server runs as apache and apache owns /var/www/redmine/tmp/cache. Any ideas?

ActionView::Template::Error (Permission denied - /var/www/redmine/tmp/cache/44E):
    13:   </p>
    14: <% end %>
    15: 
    16: <% cache(@cache_key) do -%>
    17: <%= render :partial => 'common/diff', :locals => {:diff => @diff, :diff_type => @diff_type} %>
    18: <% end -%>
    19:

I've discovered that file created by the web server are owned by root. I'm not sure why, because apache is set up to run as apache:apache. I suspect this is what is causing my problem.

I had the same problem.
My redmine runs as user www-data, but the cache folder inside redmine/tmp belonged to root.
I solved this by doing

chown -R www-data:www-data tmp

inside the redmine folder.
