Settings not being respected

[malexmave]

I am running redmine 1.3.2.stable with the latest git master of gitolite and redmine_git_hosting.

The install went almost without problems (missing dependencies were not reported, but I figured them out and installed them, plus some problems with missing dirs in /tmp and wrong permissions, which I believe I also fixed).

In the config page in the redmine backend (Administration => Plugins => Configure), I set the gitolite user to "gitolite" and the server to my domain name, followed by the port information (domain.com:portnumber). But if I try to create a new repository, it fails (giving some HTML / JS / Whatever output (Element.update("tab-content-repository", [...], tell me if you need more). When I check the redmine log, I see:

[GitHosting] Got projects, move on!

(I left out some stacktrace'y stuff, again: if you need it, I can provide it, but I wanted to avoid bloating this issue).

As you can see above, it still tries to connect to git@localhost instead of gitolite@host.com:[portnr].

I already tried to re-generate the scripts using rake redmine_git_hosting:install_scripts RAILS_ENV=production WEB_USER=www-data, to no avail.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks in advance,

Yes, it's normal.
Beacause sometimes we need to sudo to execute commands, it means that both Redmine and Gitolite must be on the same server. So it makes no sense to checkout Gitolite admin repo from elsewhere than localhost.

[malexmave]

In that case, it is a) completely pointless to even have a setting for that, and b) completely impossible to use this in a configuration where ssh is not on port 22 and the username is not git?

Edit: I just understood the need for a setting, but the question about the port still stands

[n-rodriguez]

it's not completely pointless as we need the host domain to build SSH access url, which can be different of HTTP domain access ;)

I can add a setting for local SSH server port.

[malexmave]

Local SSH Server Port would be great, and this still leaves the issue of the username open: There is a setting to set the username, but it is not respected internally.

[n-rodriguez]

Local SSH port added in a08b417

[malexmave]

Is the setting supposed to be available from the config backend in redmine (because I cannot find it after pulling, rake db:migrate_plugins and redmine_git_hosting:install_scripts), or do I need to change this in the init.rb?

[n-rodriguez]

yes! no need to modify init.rb (actually you should never modifiy this file)
but don't forget to restart your Redmine instance ;)

[malexmave]

In that case, please advise me where I can change it (or what I have missed while upgrading the plugin), as I seem to be unable to find it in the configuration... ;-(

[n-rodriguez]

Sorry! I forgot to commit the view file :/
Done in commit c30b766
Just restart Redmine ;)

[malexmave]

Okay, port settings work, still dealing with some errors (still getting funny output when creating a new repo, but the repo is created correctly, it seems. Also, gitolite is rejecting my pubkey that I set in my profile, for some reason. Seems like everything is pretty borked up, but I will probably just remove the plugin, reinstall it and start from scratch).

[n-rodriguez]

Ok :)
Let me know if you still have troubles
