[Git Repository Error] Git commits are showing in Activity but not in Repository

Hi Guys,

I'm setting up a site with Redmine and Git.

I installed Redmine according to the installation manual and it is now up and running fine with Apache2 and passenger.

The problem I've got here is, when I assign a Git repo to a project, I can not browse the repo under the Repository tab. I've tried the following:

Check the GIT_BIN variable in lib/redmine/scm/adapters/git_adapter.rb and make sure it points to the correct Git binary (it's pointing to /usr/bin/git, that's correct)
Check the repo is readable by the user which runs Redmine ( I've chmod the repo to 777 )
Make sure the repo is a bare one ( I created a bare repo for testing purpose )

After confirmed all above, it is still not working.

Then I tried to run this command :

ruby script/runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production

After running this command, the commits are showing in the Activity tab, but I still can not browse the repo under Repository tab. The error message remains:

The entry or revision was not found in the repository.

I've checked the log/production.log, but nothing is recorded except the init message:

# Logfile created on Mon Apr 11 15:19:55 +0800 2011

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem? What can I do to solve it or what should I do so that I can find more information on it to help investigate?

That might be related to your running the fetch commit job as root, the log is then created as root and the user running Redmine can't write to it. Make sure the user running redmine has write permissions to those folders and files therein: tmp, log, public/plugin_assets and files. Once you have done that, have a look at the logs when you visit the repository tab. (also note: visiting the repository will per default make Redmine fetch commits for that repo).

Thank you, I'll do that and get back with more info.

I've chmod the production.log and it is now recording more info.

But It seems the log didn't provide some valuable info, it just gives a 404 Not Found error, with no detailed error message.

The log is something like this:

Parameters: {"action"=>"show", "id"=>"hoj", "controller"=>"repositories"}
Rendering template within layouts/base
Rendering common/error (404)
Completed in 52ms (View: 13, DB: 2) | 404 Not Found

Anyone can suggest what should I do next to find out more useful info to solve this?

Do you maybe have an outdated plugin or some files from different versions of Redmine?
