Gitlist can't find repositories directory

Question

I've installed the latest Gitlist version (0.5.0) on a CentOS 6.5 server. I've followed all the steps from install file but gitlist doesn't work. I've searched in many blogs an sites to solve it, but Gitlist keep saying Please, edit the config file and provide your repositories directory I've placed my repos under /home/my_home/git_repos/, I already tried to change permissions, add apache user to gituser group, and even move my repos to /var/www/html/

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

I got mine working by using

chown -R apache:apache /git_repos/

and

chmod -R 755 /git_repos

Give that a try. also make sure that your config.ini is pointing to the correct location.
