Hi All,

```
 This is not specifically a Rails question, but I figure that

```

someone here might know enough about git to help me.

```
 Here is the situation.

 I had set up a private Git Repo server for my companies projects.

```

For testing I did everything as root. Now that I am ready to allow  
others to access the Git Repositories on there I have copied the bin  
files from /root/bin to /usr/bin and created a new repository for the  
main line of code that I am working on /var/git/project. I pointed my  
local repo to that as the new origin.

```
 When I do a push to the repository I get the following after the

```

compression routine:  
Failed to run command ‘index-pack’: Permission denied  
error: pack-objects died with strange error  
error: failed to push some refs to  
‘removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid:/var/git/project.git’

```
 When I shifted the bin files from /root/bin I did not see a file

```

called git-index-pack. Other git commands seem to be working as normal  
both as root and as gituser.

```
 Does anyone know what could be wrong.

```

Thanks in advance,

Jess

I’m using Gitosis for repositories sharing  
Had no problems like that
