permissions?

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback!

It definitely sounds like a permissions issue to me, but it’s hard to know the exact issue without seeing it.

Who are the WordPress files owned by? Is that the same user as the user running Apache?

You may have some luck creating the repository manually ( with “git init .” ), and then using chown and/or chmod as needed to match it up with the same permissions /user as the rest of your WordPress installation.

Thanks for your response. Shared it with the host and they did some checking on permissions and there did not seem to be any problems.

Today I noticed that the Revisr plugin is still making backups and pushing them to the BitBucket repo even though it still has the “No Git repository was detected, click here to create one.”

I can manually commit, but when I try to manually push I get “Error pushing to the remote repository. The remote repository could be ahead, or there may be an authentication issue. Click here for more details.”
When I click for more it says:
“sh: git: command not found”

What should we do next?

Thanks

Hi, can you please paste over the debug info from the help tab in the Revisr Settings?

The error details make it seem like Git isn’t installed on the server. Can you confirm that it’s definitely installed?

If so, it’s likely an issue with the installation path to Git not being recognized by Apache.

Worked for a couple hours with our server admin on this tonight. It seems to me that the Revisr is not detecting the git path. Here’s what we did:
1. We ran which git – output: /usr/local/bin/git
– So git IS installed.
2. We added the line: define(‘REVISR_GIT_PATH’, ‘/usr/local/bin/git’); in wp-config.php – but that stil doesn’t help.
3. We rebooted the server to be sure. No joy.
4. What we ended up doing was to hardcode the path in line 77 of class-revisr-git.php:
$this->git_path = ‘/usr/local/bin/git’;
This seemed to work.
Can you help us fix the problem properly rather than hardcoding the git path in the class file?

Below is the error file before we made the hardcode patch:
Operating System Linux
Exec() Enabled true
Git Install Path Not Found
Git Version Unknown
MySQL Install Path /usr/bin/mysql
Repository Status No repository detected.

Thanks much

p.s. I mistyped… that wasn’t the error file, but the debug info I believe you were asking for.

Here it is again after we made the hardcode change:
Operating System Linux
Exec() Enabled true
Git Install Path Not Found
Git Version git version 1.8.3.4
MySQL Install Path /usr/bin/mysql
File Permissions false
Repository Path /home/[website-name-removed-for-security]/public_html

Hi,

That’s really strange, line 77 normally just returns the “REVISR_GIT_PATH” constant that you already tried defining and apparently didn’t work.

Can you please try adding the “define(‘REVISR_GIT_PATH’, ‘/usr/local/bin/git’);” code to the wp-config.php file above the line that starts with “Absolute path to the WordPress directory”. (Just below the the “WP_DEBUG” constant should work well).

I see that you tried adding this already, but the placement within the wp-config.php is important.

Thanks!

Thanks, that seemed to do the trick! Must have just misplaced it in the wp-config.php file earlier.
