Hi!I have installed the gitscm add-on and can't get it to work, instead the "git-upload-pack: command not found" message appears.What I have done:- Installed gitscm-addon via FrontView and rebooted the NAS- Logged in to my readynas as root (ssh root@readynas)- Created a git repo with: # cd /opt/git # mkdir repo # cd repo # git init --bare- Checked that the new repo is shown in https://readynas/gitweb/gitweb.cgi => OK- Trying to clone the repo from my local MAc client with:# git clone root@readynas:/opt/git/repo.git=> bash: line 1: git-upload-pack: command not foundfatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedlyAre there any hints? Because I don't have found any documentation to this addon, maybe I have created the repo the wrong way...My config:- ReadyNAS Duo- Radiator 4.1.6- git-scm v1.7.1-readynas-0.1.2Kind regards,Georg Ledermann

I'm fresh to git myself and was having some of the same issues. My fix was insuring that all accounts had the /opt/rfw/bin was in the path. That might be just my newbie take on it though.

If I recall correctly, the adding of the path should be automatic for *existing* accounts - but I'm not sure now you mention it. Will check.-Stefan

For the root user the path was already ok. I have added /opt/rfw/bin to the path in /etc/profile, but this doesn't change anything. Here is a full log to demonstrate the problem:quattro:~ ledermann$ ssh root@readynasroot@readynas's password: Linux ReadyNAS 2.6.17.8ReadyNAS #1 Tue Jun 9 13:59:28 PDT 2009 padre unknownReadyNAS:~# echo $PATH/opt/rfw/bin:/opt/rfw/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11ReadyNAS:~# whereis git-upload-packgit-upload-pack: /opt/rfw/bin/git-upload-packReadyNAS:~# git-upload-packusage: git upload-pack [--strict] [--timeout=nn] <dir>ReadyNAS:~# exitlogoutConnection to readynas closed.quattro:~ ledermann$ git clone root@readynas:/opt/git/repo.gitCloning into repo...root@readynas's password: bash: line 1: git-upload-pack: command not foundfatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedlyquattro:~ ledermann$Hope this helps for debugging. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.Georg

I second my request to ledermann. We really need help here. git (or VCS) is crucial for maintaining any project. I have been trying to clone/pull/push from my PC to readyNAS remotely by no success. I have read many web articles (around 30+) for more than 2 weeks to find a way to communicate remotely to the repo located in ReadyNAS it but no luck. Very frustrated. Here is the list of things i done:downloaded gitscm from this link http://readynasfreeware.org/attachments/download/100/gitscm_1.7.1-readypro-0.1.2.binInstalled gitscm-addon via FrontView and rebooted the NASlogged in to readyNAS as root user via Putty.created a repo in the /opt/git directory, added few test files to the repo, commit the changes.verified https://<ReadyNAS>/gitweb/gitweb.cgi and the repo showed there successfully.I installed "msysgit" which is a Windows flavour of git and opened git bash session and tried to clone/pull/push the repo created in ReadyNAS to my local PC, but i get "fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly"I have also tried to create --bare repo, still no success.I have made similar checks to what ledermann ensuring path of git commands are accessible but i still get this error:fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedlyledermann wrote:quattro:~ ledermann$ ssh root@readynasroot@readynas's password: Linux ReadyNAS 2.6.17.8ReadyNAS #1 Tue Jun 9 13:59:28 PDT 2009 padre unknownReadyNAS:~# echo $PATH/opt/rfw/bin:/opt/rfw/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11ReadyNAS:~# whereis git-upload-packgit-upload-pack: /opt/rfw/bin/git-upload-packReadyNAS:~# git-upload-packusage: git upload-pack [--strict] [--timeout=nn] <dir>ReadyNAS:~# exitlogoutConnection to readynas closed.quattro:~ ledermann$ git clone root@readynas:/opt/git/repo.gitCloning into repo...root@readynas's password: bash: line 1: git-upload-pack: command not foundfatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedlyquattro:~ ledermann$We are stuck here.

The problem when cloning using the git:// protocol is that by default git won't export any repositories unless told to do so:A really simple TCP git daemon that normally listens on port "DEFAULT_GIT_PORT" aka 9418. It waits for a connection asking for a service, and will serve that service if it is enabled.It verifies that the directory has the magic file "git-daemon-export-ok", and it will refuse to export any git directory that hasn't explicitly been marked for export this way (unless the --export-all parameter is specified). If you pass some directory paths as git daemon arguments, you can further restrict the offers to a whitelist comprising of those.So you have two options:1) create the magic file "git-daemon-export-ok" in the .git directory within your git repo2) add the "--export-all" option to the line starting with GITDAEMON_OPTIONS= in /etc/init.d/rfw-git-daemonIn either case restart the git daemon using/etc/init.d/rfw-git-daemon stop/etc/init.d/rfw-git-daemon startNow cloning should work using the git:// protocol. If you need to enable uploads (receive-packs), you need to either configure the repo to allow this or add the "--enable=reveice-pack" option to the GITDAEMON_OPTIONS line. Other settings you can use with the "--enable-option":These services can be globally enabled/disabled using the command line options of this command. If a finer-grained control is desired (e.g. to allow git archive to be run against only in a few selected repositories the daemon serves), the per-repository configuration file can be used to enable or disable them.upload-packThis serves git fetch-pack and git ls-remote clients. It is enabled by default, but a repository can disable it by setting daemon.uploadpack configuration item to false.upload-archiveThis serves git archive --remote. It is disabled by default, but a repository can enable it by setting daemon.uploadarch configuration item to true.receive-packThis serves git send-pack clients, allowing anonymous push. It is disabled by default, as there is _no_ authentication in the protocol (in other words, anybody can push anything into the repository, including removal of refs). This is solely meant for a closed LAN setting where everybody is friendly. This service can be enabled by daemon.receivepack configuration item to true.Again this works for the git:// protocol. Using SSH I still get the "command not found" error which has me really stumped for the PATH is added correctly for all user accounts involved. Will have to investigate more to get that one solved I fear.-Stefan

If I want to access the git repositories with a non-root user, should I connect as the user "git" (which was created when I installed the addon)? If so, do I need to set a password?

EDIT: This didn't occur to me until now -- should I be using the "User" security mode (as opposed to "Share" mode)?

Thanks.
My git user was set up with /bin/sh as shell, and I had to change it to /bin/bash with the chsh command in order for this solution to work.

Hi all,

Thank you for your tips but i still don't get it. I try since few hours to install a git on my readynas ultra and neither https or ssh link seems to work.

Thanks to google i understand that because of our old version of git (1.4.4.4) we can't use it... and we can't update :(

So i try to use the "git" way, and after applying your 2 tips

2) add the "--export-all" option to the line starting with GITDAEMON_OPTIONS= in /etc/init.d/rfw-git-daemon

so on my ReadyNAS, I modified the .bashrc file to include /opt/rfw/bin:

readynas:~# cat .bashrc

# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.

PATH=:$PATH:/opt/rfw/bin
export PATH

export PS1='\h:\w\$ '
umask 022

my log :

Alakazam:~# $PATH
-bash: /opt/rfw/bin:/opt/rfw/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin: No such file or directory
Alakazam:~# git clone git@github.com:tvheadend/tvheadend.git
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: unexpected EOF
fetch-pack from 'git@github.com:tvheadend/tvheadend.git' failed.

thanks for your help !

ps: is there a way to install directly the .zip downloaded from git with ssh or git add-on ?
EDIT = ok nevermind, i put the folder inside the .zip in /c/home/ and access to the differents fonctions by ssh
