Advanced git configuration failure

Added by Малъ Скрылёвъ over 13 years ago

Hello, I've setted up the softwares and their settings according the manual: http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/HowTo_configure_Redmine_for_advanced_git_integration

But apache answers with 'Not Found' message to a browser. If I do
$ git ls-remote http://git.slavlang.org/myrepo
I get:
fatal: http://git.slavlang.org/myrepo/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

Apache error log don't show anything reasonable.

What can I do to fix the problem?

  1. Is there anything yet in that repo?
  2. What are the apache error logs for that query?

RE: Advanced git configuration failure - Added by Малъ Скрылёвъ over 13 years ago

1. What do you mean "yet"?

2. I've monitored /var/log/apache2/errors_log and only last string found in it:
[Thu Sep 16 17:28:14 2010] [notice] Apache/2.2.10 (Unix) DAV/2 Phusion_Passenger/2.2.15 SVN/1.6.12 PHP/5.2.8-pl2-gentoo mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.8.8 configured -- resuming normal operations

RE: Advanced git configuration failure - Added by Felix Schäfer over 13 years ago

  1. Is it a repo you just created with git init, or is there at least one commit in it?
  2. Can you see the http request in the apache access_log?

RE: Advanced git configuration failure - Added by Малъ Скрылёвъ over 13 years ago

1. Yes
$ git ls-remote file:///var/www/git.slavlang.org/myrepo/
6c501cc5c08cd0083ad61aa38a6d233a654b24c2 HEAD
6c501cc5c08cd0083ad61aa38a6d233a654b24c2 refs/heads/master
6c501cc5c08cd0083ad61aa38a6d233a654b24c2 refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
6c501cc5c08cd0083ad61aa38a6d233a654b24c2 refs/remotes/origin/master

2. I've found the following line in access log of apache:
...
79.174.78.237 - - [16/Sep/2010:16:48:00 +0400] "GET /myrepo/info/refs HTTP/1.1" 404 9

Ok, that means the request gets to apache, and probably gets to grack. How is grack served, what does its config look like, what user does it run as?

RE: Advanced git configuration failure - Added by Малъ Скрылёвъ over 13 years ago

This is the changed part of the grack config:

  :project_root => "/var/git/git.slavlang.org",
  :git_path => '/usr/bin/git',

Other place of the config I haven't changed.

This is the apache's vhost.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName git.slavlang.org

    ServerAdmin webmaster@slavlang.org
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/git.slavlang.org/public" 

    <Directory "/var/www/git.slavlang.org/public">
        Options None
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

RE: Advanced git configuration failure - Added by Felix Schäfer over 13 years ago

Mmh, I think you got some things mixed up… Your grack config tells it to look for repos under /var/git/git.slavlang.org, i.e. when you try to access myrepo, it looks for it in /var/git/git.slavlang.org/myrepo, but above you showed me your repository is in /var/www/git.slavlang.org/myrepo. Please move your repo from /var/www/git.slavlang.org to /var/git/git.slavlang.org and try again.

RE: Advanced git configuration failure - Added by Малъ Скрылёвъ over 13 years ago

But if I fix config.ru of grack to this:

  :project_root => "/var/git/git.slavlang.org",
  :git_path => '/usr/bin/git',

Will this help?

Please move your repo from /var/www/git.slavlang.org to /var/git/git.slavlang.org and try again.

In this case, I think that I must change apache's vhost.conf to direct to /var/git/git.slavlang.org/public, yes?

RE: Advanced git configuration failure - Added by Felix Schäfer over 13 years ago

No, the problem I can see now is that project_root in the grack config must point to the directory containing your git repositories, and that doesn't need to be a directory apache can access, so unless there is a good reason for not moving your repository from /var/www/git.slavlang.org to /var/git/git.slavlang.org, just move it there. It is not apache that accesses the repositories, so they don't need to be in a directory apache can reach.

Regarding your vhost config, if grack is installed in /var/www/git.slavlang.org, it should be ok.

RE: Advanced git configuration failure - Added by Малъ Скрылёвъ over 13 years ago

I'll specify, /var/git/git.slavlang.org is folder that contain collection of git-repos, and don't contain the .git folder?

RE: Advanced git configuration failure - Added by Felix Schäfer over 13 years ago

/var/git/git.slavlang.org is the folder that should contain the git repositories, yes, so if you have a repository called myrepo, it would be in /var/git/git.slavlang.org/myrepo, and git ls-remote file:///var/git/git.slavlang.org/myrepo should work too.

RE: Advanced git configuration failure - Added by Малъ Скрылёвъ over 13 years ago

I've setted up the configuration as you said but got this:

# git ls-remote file:///var/git/git.slavlang.org/myrepo
3d2d82c92ae318076a50fceecefb065d101bb49f    HEAD
3d2d82c92ae318076a50fceecefb065d101bb49f    refs/heads/master

# git ls-remote http://www.slavlang.org/myrepo
fatal: http://www.slavlang.org/myrepo/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

# git ls-remote http://git.slavlang.org/myrepo
fatal: http://git.slavlang.org/myrepo/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

The config files are the following:

$ cat /var/www/git.slavlang.org/config.ru
...
  :project_root => "/var/git/git.slavlang.org",
  :git_path => '/usr/bin/git',
...

$ cat /etc/apache2/vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName git.slavlang.org

    ServerAdmin webmaster@slavlang.org
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/git.slavlang.org/public" 

    <Directory "/var/www/git.slavlang.org/public">
        Options None
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

What can I do yet?

RE: Advanced git configuration failure - Added by Малъ Скрылёвъ over 13 years ago

# tail /var/log/apache2/error_log
...
error: unable to update .git/info/refs+
error: cannot open .git/objects/info/packs+

RE: Advanced git configuration failure - Added by Felix Schäfer over 13 years ago

Mmh, just to make sure: what git version do you have on the client? The requests in access_log look like this for me: /myrepo/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack, while you said you had /myrepo/info/refs, which is the sign for a client that can't do "smart-http" yet, which in turn won't work with grack.

RE: Advanced git configuration failure - Added by Малъ Скрылёвъ over 13 years ago

thanx, it was older version of git then required...
