GitLab: Can't push code to server?

Question

I've installed GitLab on an Ubuntu Server. Everything seems to work fine except I can't push/pull/clone to/from the server.

When I push I get the general error message:

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I've tried everything from hours of googling, but I can't seem to locate a problem.

sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production

Runs fine, OK across the board!

I can SSH into [email protected] I get:

PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
Welcome to GitLab, Anonymous!

When I do:

ssh [email protected] "ls /location/of/git/dir"

I get:

Not allowed command

The website is running, when I create a repository on the site it appears in /home/git/repository/

But I still can't push to it.

I followed this guide:

https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/5-0-stable/doc/install/installation.md

and this guide to get it running on apache:

Answer 1

I finally figured it out after many hours of debugging, and I somehow knew there was a simple issue with the configuration.

Since the second guide mention how to set up gitlab on apache with a relative url you actually have to do some more configs inside gitlab. I uncommented the line about relative url:s unicorn.rb and in gitlab-shell/config I added my whole URL (with subdirectory).

Before:

 http://web-adress.com/

after:

 http://web-adress.com/subdomain/

Now it works great.

Answer 2

You can test it with the command bellow. When you login it should say your name.

ssh -T [email protected]

Welcome to GitLab, Christian Hammer!

If it says "Welcome to GitLab, Anonymous!" gitlab does not recognise you as a user of gitlab.
