GitLab

Created by: damianb

This is a stubborn and frustrating issue for myself when trying to delete a currently-present SSH key.

I'm serving gitolite and gitlabhq out of /srv/git/ (the git user's home dir, I choose to serve ALL server-related things out of /srv/), with the user git.

Trying to push to projects already created in gitlab is failing miserably as well as it wants a password for the git user.

Installation was per instructions, I used the git user's generated ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file as the rails.pub file, and loaded that directly into gitolite-admin repo. I can also clone the gitolite-admin repository locally - did so in /srv/git/tmp/ just fine. Additionally, the suggested rm -fr /tmp/gitolite* (as per issues #266 (closed) and #271 (closed)) does not help in my case. umask is 0007, set in ~/.bashrc.

gitolite.conf:

   repo    gitolite-admin
        RW+     =   katana rails

config/gitlab.yml:

# Gitlab application config file

  # Git timeout to read commit, in seconds
  git_timeout: 10

git@sabros:~/gitlabhq$ ssh -T git@localhost
hello rails, this is gitolite v2.2-11-g8c4d1aa running on git 1.7.5.4
the gitolite config gives you the following access:
     R   W      gitolite-admin

While creating a new project, I did notice this appear in the logs:

fatal: empty ident  <[email protected]
> not allowed
Everything up-to-date

Also, when trying to delete an ssh key, this is the exact error message and console output:

Gitolite Error

We're sorry, but we cant get access to your gitolite system.

1. Check 'config/gitlab.yml' for correct settings.

2. Be sure web server user has access to gitolite.

No changes seem to be made to gitolite-admin when adding a project or adding ssh keys either.

Also, the repositories dir in case that's helpful:

git@sabros:~/repositories$ ls -laFh
