Redmine

Hello everybody,

like written in the subject I'm trying to clone existing repositories from the server (debian) to client (win7).

My aim is to update our ticket system - at the moment redmine 1.0 - to a more modern one.
Unfortunately the person who installed the first version left the company and I have very little experience in apache2 and in ruby, so if you write an answer it could take longer until I answer because I have to understand what you are talking about - I also use this thread to get more experience with the topic.

1. Using various wikis I installed redmine2.0 on a debian8 server.
   • I used Apache2 as server and passenger as rack
2. I migrate the content of the mysql database of redmine1.0 to redmine 2.0 using
   

   bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

3. I installed redmine3.3 parallelly to redmine2.0 and migrate the content of the mysql database of redmine2 to the newer one
4. I did some short tests and I confirmed that
   • there were no problem to login in redmine via ldap
   • the content of the wikis are shown well
   • the tickets are related to the right project and the right version
5. I installed the plug-in redmine-scm
   • To make it work the ruby-gem rails-observers was installed
6. I copied the all repository from the 'old' server to /data/git/repos/ using scp
7. The owner of the /data/ were changed recursively to www-data:www-data
8. I copied the file scm.yml to [redmine dir]/config View details of scm.ymlView details of scm.yml

   production:
     deny_delete: false
     auto_create: false
     force_repository: false
     pre_create: /data/git/.redmine-scripts/pre-create.sh
     post_create: /data/git/.redmine-scripts/post-create.sh
     pre_delete: /data/git/.redmine-scripts/pre-delete.sh
     post_delete: /data/git/.redmine-scripts/post-delete.sh
     max_repos: 0
     only_creator: false
     allow_add_local: true
     allow_pickup: false
     svn:
       path: /data/svn/repos
       svnadmin: /usr/bin/svnadmin
       url: svn
     git:
       path: /data/git/repos
       git: /usr/bin/git
       options: --bare
       url: http://10.12.1.110/git
       update_server_info: true
       git_ext: true
       append: 
     mercurial:
       path: /data/mercurial
       hg: /usr/bin/hg
     bazaar:
       path: /data/bazaar
       bzr: /usr/bin/bzr
       init: init-repository
       log_encoding: UTF-8
   

9. I copied the original pre- and post- scripts to /data/git/.redmine-scripts
10. I edited the apache2.conf to give apache the access to the target folder Inserted linesInserted lines

    <Directory /data/git/repos/>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All 
            Require all granted
    </Directory>
    

11. I inserted a new configuration file in apache named git.conf Content of git.confContent of git.conf

    PerlLoadModule Apache2::Redmine
    
    SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /data/git/repos
    SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL
    ScriptAlias /git/ /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend/
    
    <Location "/git/">
        AuthType Basic
        Require valid-user
        AuthName "Redmine git repositories" 
    
    #    PassengerEnabled off
    
        PerlAccessHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::access_handler
        PerlAuthenHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::authen_handler
    
        RedmineDSN "DBI:mysql:database=redmine_prod;host=localhost" 
        RedmineDbUser "redmine" 
        RedmineDbPass "redmine" 
    #    RedmineGitSmartHttp yes
    
        #Cache the last 50 auth entries
    #    RedmineCacheCredsMax 0
    </Location>
    

12. I enabled the configuration using a2enconf

I created a sandbox project and I created successfully a dummy project.
But when I try to clone a repo from a client I have to authenticate myself and then I get the message

fatal: repository 'http://10.12.1.110/git/sandbox.git/' not found

Because I have to authenticate myself I suppose the config-file works well but I just can't figure out why the repository is not found.
I tried to understand the several logs (e.g. apache-error.log, production.log) but I don't get point.

1. I cloned from the server to a test-directory in home giving the absolute path to the repository and it worked.
2. I cloned from the client and I gave wrong longin data and an error 500 was returned.

Now I spend more than 7 hours trying to fix the problem, but I think I reached the point where my good friend 'google' doesn't help anymore (or I don't know the right terms for solving the problem) -

If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks

Elvys
