edit repo internal error 500 and users stay empty

[gvandenbosch]

I have followed the following guide to setup redmine with git hosting:
http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/HowTo_Install_Redmine_30x_on_Ubuntu_1404_with_Apache2_Phusion_Passenger_MySQL_Subversion_and_Git_(Gitolite)

I can create a repo without problems.
However when I click edit on the repo I get 500 internal error.
From the error log I can see the following:

Also when i click repositories->users this keeps saying "No data to display".
I probably misconfigured something, but I am unable to find it, could someone give me a pointer?

First check that the plugin is well installed : http://redmine-git-hosting.io/get_started/

[gvandenbosch]

Everything on the config test tab is green except the gitolite version, it is red and says "unknown version".
When I query the version with dpkg -s it tells me version 2.3-1

[n-rodriguez]

Which version of the plugin are you running? And can you provide the output of :

root$ su - redmine
redmine$ ssh -i ssh_keys/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa git@localhost info

[gvandenbosch]

I am running version 1.1.1

When I execute that command it is asking for a password for git user, which I don't have.

It shouldn't. The SSH key is here to avoid this precisely.

[n-rodriguez]

btw you should upgrade at least to 1.1.5.

I found the GIT problem.

Currently in my authorized_keys file I have:

command="/usr/share/gitolite/gl-auth-command admin",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-pty  /opt/redmine/.ssh/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa.pub

However this doesn't work properly, when I replace /opt/redmine/.ssh/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa.pub with the actual public key then the command

 redmine$ ssh -i ssh_keys/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa git@localhost info

Works perfectly, however when I do something with the repositories in redmine then the public key is automatically replaced with the path to the key again which then breaks the ssh as well.

Reinstall Gitolite with the right SSH key.

I reinstalled gitolite with apt-get, I had to remove folder /opt/gitolite after uninstall and then could install and run dpkg-reconfigure gitolite, then configured with key content instead of key file path and now it keeps working
