Redmine and Git - stderr: fatal: Not a git repository

I am integrating Redmine with Gitlab repositories. When I try to access Repository tab in Redmine, I get error in Apache logs:

stderr: fatal: Not a git repository: '/var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/example-group/example-repository.git'

I know that it is access/permissions problem.

The same problem described in SO thread: Redmine error log fatal:not a git repository. I have tried adding nobody, apache or www-data users to git group but it didn't solve the problem.

When I make sudo chmod 755 full path to the repository gitlab/git-data/repositories/example-group/example-repository.git, it works well.

How to solve this problem without changing permissions to 755?

  • Check under which user account Redmine runs
  • Check whether the git group actually has access to that directory
  • Add the Redmine user to the git group or whichever group has access to the repository
