Redmine Project Repository 404 Error

Question

I am configuring redmine to pull commit histories from an associated git repository. I have set up a local mirror. I have the path to the mirror defined in the project settings >> repository tab. But when I browse to the project's repository tab I get:

404

The entry or revision was not found in the repository.

The production log shows:

My understanding is that one can verify which user redmine is running as by checking the owner of production.log. Taking any of these Shelling out: entries, stripping the single quotes and running the resulting command as as that user results in proper output.

So why the 404 error?

Answer 1

This was indeed a permissions problem. Passenger has user switching enabled by default so that the rails application runs the owner of config/environment.rb . What tripped me up was the application did not inherit all the group memberships of that user but rather the group by default is explicitly set to the primary group of that user. I am using group permissions for access to these files. Inserting a PassengerGroup directive into the Virtual Host block for this site that explicitly set the proper group resolved this problem for me.

Answer 2

I've got the same issue, it is the permission issue. You should move the repository to another location such as /tmp/xxx.git I gave full permission to repository in my home directory, but I got error because redmine can not read my home directory.
