Re: Permission denied accessing the local Git repository '/home/user/foo/.git'
Hi,
Just to check, is this repository local to the Review Board server, or
remote?
If local, make sure that your web server's user (usually apache or
www-data) has read access to everything under the git repository.
if remote, you're going to need to use a service like
gitweb/cgit/gitlab/etc, since Git has no support for fine-grained remote
access to files/commits. We have some docs on how to do this:

Hello,
I'm trying to set up reviewboard on Fedora linux. I've already disabled
SELinux due to other issues starting up Reviewboard. Running apache with
the other recommended settings. Now I have review board setup but cannot
get my git repository set up (even after trying for a day).
Here's my issue:
- I could not get the get repository setup with remote pointing to my
private github repository.
- Since then I have setup a local git repo using ssh
- I've put the local git repo in multiple places (/tmp/foo, /home/user/foo
etc) yet continue to get the same error in the setup repo screen where it
says permission denied accessing the local git repository
- In the mirror path, I specify ssh://g...@git.host.lan/github/foo.git
- I've tried giving the apache user ownership of the foo directory and the
.git directory and given ugo+rwx on both of those directories.
If I specify only the ssh://g...@git.host.lan/github/foo.git as the path
and leave the mirror path empty OR specify the same for the mirror path, I
can create the repo but cannot post a review to the repo. It fails with the
error:

Re: Permission denied accessing the local Git repository '/home/user/foo/.git'
Hi, There's no additional logs for this, as that's basically all the information we're given. That error is coming straight from Git. Best way to reproduce for testing is to `sudo -s` to your web server's user, then attempt to do a `git ls-remotes` on that repository. See if you get an error. This does sound like either a permissions issue or SELinux. However, it could also be that the user can't access some parent directory of the repository.

Re: Permission denied accessing the local Git repository '/home/user/foo/.git'
Hi Christian,
Thank you for the quick response. I'm using local repo due to not having
the gitweb/cgit etc. I locally cloned the git repository under my home
directory. The whole repository has read privileges to all users of the
system (chmod -R ugo+r foo) already.
However, the error message when I try to save the repository configuration
is always Permission denied accessing the local Git repository
'/home/user/foo/.git'
Are there any log files where I can see specific logs related to the error?
I've also installed the beta 2.5 version and tried with that but get the
same error message.
Thanks again!

Re: Permission denied accessing the local Git repository '/home/user/foo/.git'
Ok yes, that was the problem. For anyone thats in this bad situation in the future, the way to figure out the issue is as follows: As Christian mentioned, do: sudo -su apache (or user who runs apache) cd to git repo git ls-remote In my case, it was failing to connect via ssh (public key denied) My solution was to: create a .ssh directory in the home directory of the user (apache). In my case, this was in /usr/share/httpd in the .ssh directory, i copied over my ssh keys to connect to the git hub repo cloned the repo under the /usr/share/httpd directory This succeeds if/when the ssh keys are properly set up. Once this succeeds, you can submit the repository form with the path set to the local .ssh path AND the mirror path set to the ssh:// path of your repo. the misleading thing here is the directory might be given all the permissions needed but still gives that same error message when the ssh public key auth is failing. One last question: Do we need to manually keep the git repository up-to-date? e.g. cron tab? Thanks again for the help!!

Re: Permission denied accessing the local Git repository '/home/user/foo/.git'
Hi Stephen, Thanks for your fast reply. Be aware that on Fedora, Review Board is running as the 'apache' user. Also, SELinux is often a culprit (but since you mentioned it above, I suspect you already know how to verify that with permissive mode). I'm used to having chown-ed all files for the web server by the 'apache' user (even including the git repository in that case). SELinux doesn't give me any warnings/problems since I adapted the policy according to its suggestions. Therefore, I think the problem is (no longer) due to SELinux.
