I am currently having the same problem. I need to restart the service each day in order to make push request work. The problem did not occur before updating to 0.12.1. I am also using gogs on Windows.

Thanks for reporting!

I don't have any clue about the root cause top of my head, but I'll take a look during 0.13 dev cycle.

With the same problem, I even tried to restart the service regularly. I've rolled back to 0.11.91

My current guess is that the daily log rotation has problem on Windows, since it seems to often appear in the next day? 🤔

@unknwon Maybe, I always thought it was more than 10 hours. When there is a problem, my method is to restart the gogs service every time to solve the problem. After encountering this problem, I tried a lot, including changing different versions of GIT, re covering and installing new ones. All of these problems could not be solved. I manually restart every day for more than 20 days, but I didn't wait for your repair version. I gave up and went back to 0.11

This problem is very serious, it reappeared after restarting for 12 hours

@MooLee89 It's very serious. Every day I restart, I want to write an auxiliary program to help gogs restart automatically. The author hasn't found the reason yet, so I suggest to use the old version. There are more and more users who upgrade to the new version. As long as they use windows, they will encounter this problem. Now, there are 4 or 5 people who are fed back. In fact, hundreds of people may have encountered this problem. Please wait for version 0.13 to be funny,because it could take a year.
