Hey! great article. Any way you can release a VM all setup for us? just clone your VM?

Hi thanks for the guide. Everything works up until I create a project. As soon as I do I get
Internal error
An error occurred on the page you were trying to access.If you continue to experience problems please contact your Redmine administrator for assistance.
If you are the Redmine administrator, check your log files for details about the error.

I almost forgot, there’s a bit near the beginning, after installing acl, where the acl option is added to /etc/fstab. This is very important! It’s also important to reboot to apply the change. Your redmine user probably won’t be able to output the gitosis private key otherwise.

If you can’t do this:

sudo -u redmine cat ~redmine/apps/redmine/vendor/plugins/redmine-gitosis/extra/ssh/private_key

Then you’ll probably get 500 when trying to create a new project and something like this in your `production.log`:

Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory – /tmp/redmine-gitosis-1274801366/gitosis/gitosis.conf)

I fixed it by adding on more acl rule to grant redmine user execute on `/opt/gitosis`:

sudo setfacl -m user:redmine:r-x,mask:r-x ~git/

Now run this to verify:

sudo -u redmine cat ~redmine/apps/redmine/vendor/plugins/redmine-gitosis/extra/ssh/private_key

If it doesn’t output the private key, get help. Try #ubuntu irc channel on freenode.net. Politely ask for help troubleshooting. Be ready to run some command and provide the output using something like gist.github.com.

You’re almost there!

Thanks for the very detailed tutorial — but redmine-gitosis didn’t work here (it is not that kind of good-quality software :-/).

Just a detail: you forgot to add “net-ssh” in the “gem install” list – it is needed since the fetch of the repository is done via SSH.

Excellent article! I am a linux newbie and I was able to follow this from start to finish with no errors. Finally a walk-through that works. Thanks for putting this up.

The installation currently runs on myhost.com/redmine – is there an easy way to make it run on just myhost.com? without the need for the directory.

I’m wondering if that is the Mongrel piece you said we didn’t need to any more about

That’s great
I will try this on my local server

I just want to know if this can be installed on CentOS or Fedora

I solved my issues by forcing RAILS_ENV to ‘production’ in redmine/config/environment.rb

Hope this can help

Hi !

First time I load the my/public_keys page it works perfectly but since I refresh it I get a undefined method `gitosis_public_keys’ error.
I tried a lot of things but I am not a ruby developer so please help me to get xdissent/redmine_gitosis running !

Thanks
