I too am having a hell of a time trying to figure out what bitnami is doing with git repositories. The reference to the repository says 'bare and local'. Bare and local to what? I have the redmine vmware stack. As bitnami knows... there is no local GUI (windows manager) configured in that stack... so the idea of accessing redmine and hense the repository information for git is non-existant within the stack. You can only access through a web browser on a different machine. It wouldn't make sense that 'local' would be the machine with the browsing client as that information would not be accessible to anyone through the redmine environment.
It would imply that the path has to be 'local' to the bitnami vm to be able to see it. Otherwise no one would be able to utilize the repository in a vm stack. A vm stack is no different than a dedicated server. If it is a 'local' path it is requiring, than pointing to that local path... i.e. /opt/bitnami/projects/test should be correct... no? ... well no... cuz when you go to actually open the repository within redmine after setting it up... it still gives you the 404 error... which means it doesn't know where the heck it is or where to look for it. I've tried relative paths, literal paths... no go on both. I have even created the paths by hand within the 'projects' directory in the stack.
I have followed the instructions in the 'How to configure Redmine for advanced integration with Git' guide. That has done nothing for me as when I attempt to perform a git clone command ... it is obviously seeing the grack service running because I get the following:
"error: Failed connect to http://192.168.70.153:8094; connection refused while accessing http://192.168.70.153:8094/test/info/refs"
That path and file does exist. But it doesn't clone.
So, I have 2 issues... 1. I can't seem to actually 'create' a repository from within the redmine GUI that the redmine environment can access because it keeps saying the entry or revision was not found in the repository and 2. I can't access the files within the actual project directory during a git clone command.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I would really like to use this environment and am a fluid linux developer/administrator but with little to no documentation on this configuration it makes it really tough to understand what exactly is going on and how to overcome any issues.
I am happy to submit any information that may shed more light on this.
Thank you,
