My Gitoreous doesn't create the repositories!

Question

Hello, I've just installed gitoreous here, but I'm having problems creating new repositories. I configured it to create them in the /home/git/ directory, and the it's already 777. When I create a new repository, it goes to "This repository is being created, it will be ready pretty soon…" and keep showing this forever.

I started the git-daemon from the scripts, the log:

2009-06-09 15:19:27 [31837] Received TERM, exiting..
2009-06-09 15:19:40 [32467] Listening on 0.0.0.0:9418...

Any idea what could be happening? Or where I could look for more info

Answer 1

My first guess is that you have a firewall active, preventing you to contact the port 9418. Since you mention /home/git, I am assuming you run git on Linux. It seems customary these days for Linux distributions to come with firewalls active and preconfigured.

So, retry either with the firewall down, or if you are paranoid, with the firewall pierced at port 9148. Look for the messages from the git daemon in the logs.

If it doesn't work, come back with more info.

Good luck.

Answer 2

you need to start the poller (script/poller and run an STOMP compatible queue server, such as activemq), please consult the gitorious mailinglist and/or docs, as I only came across this thread by pure accident and likely wont again
