Now that you mention it, I think I ran into something similar. Do you still have your human-readable selinux rule? If so, would you mind sharing? (We might want to push some of this upstream or at least have it in the Fedora RB packages. I'd share mine, but I deleted the 'source' version and don't know how to recreate it from the 'compiled' version.) -- Matthew -- Want to help the Review Board project?

Solved. The server is running with SELinux "enforcing" and so the git command couldn't be started by apache. The repository can be added by disabling SELinux, or running the two below commands audit2allow -a -M reviewboard semodule -i reviewboard.pp On Friday, January 18, 2013 12:05:18 PM UTC-8, Jonathan Mastin wrote: > > Thanks Matthew.
