deploy git project and permission issue
- by nixer
I have project hosted with gitolite on my own server, and I would like to deploy the whole project from gitolite bare repository to apache accessible place, by post-receive hook.
I have next hook content
echo "starting deploy..."
WWW_ROOT="/var/www_virt.hosting/domain_name/htdocs/"
GIT_WORK_TREE=$WWW_ROOT git checkout -f
exec chmod -R 750 $WWW_ROOT
exec chown -R www-data:www-data $WWW_ROOT
echo "finished"
hook can't be finished without any error message.
chmod: changing permissions of `/var/www_virt.hosting/domain_name/file_name': Operation not permitted
means that git has no enough right to make it.
The git source path is /var/lib/gitolite/project.git/, which is owned by gitolite:gitolite
And with this permissions redmine (been working under www-data user) can't achieve git repository to fetch all changes
The whole project should be placed here: /var/www_virt.hosting/domain_name/htdocs/, which is owned by www-data:www-data.
What changes I should do, to work properly post-receive hook in git, and redmine with repository ?
what I did, is:
# id www-data
uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data),119(gitolite)
# id gitolite
uid=110(gitolite) gid=119(gitolite) groups=119(gitolite),33(www-data)
does not helped.
I want to have no any problem to work apache (to view project), redmine to read source files for project (under git) and git (doing deploy to www-data accessible path)
what should I do ?
