Common Problems & Solutions

Problem: Connecting a Gitblit server will cause a socket timeout exception

Solution:

  • Check the server url in the Gitblit Repo Explorer prefrences(protocol and port etc.). Paste the entered server url in a browser. Can you see the Gitblit webpage? Otherwise the server url might be wrong
  • If you are conneting from behind a firewall / proxy, add the gitblit server as proxy bypass in the Eclipse network connection preferences. If this problem still remains, restart Eclipse after adding the bypass
  • If you are conneting from behind a firewall / proxy, Eclipse might prompt you for a userid/password while starting. Please enter your userid/password instead of just passing the login dialog.
  • If you are starting Eclipse with the "-clean" option, try to start without clean parameter.

Problem: My eGit "default repository folder", specified at egit preference page is ignored. Instead, my project is check out in my personal home directory

Solution:

  • It seems, that eGit sometimes (?) ignores its own eclipse preference setting. Instead they use the value which jgit returns. Just define a variable named HOME on your machine which points to your git home directory.
