Connection refused when sshd doesn't listen on default port #569

alchris · 2016-01-31T20:12:37Z

Hi,

our ssh server doesn't listen on the default port 22, which results in the following error:

$ RAILS_ENV=production rake --trace redmine_git_hosting:update_repositories

Tasks: TOP => redmine_git_hosting:update_repositories

It works when I change the config of the sshd so that it runs on port 22 .

The :gitolite_server_port variable is set to the port on which the sshd listens.

This is configurable.

This is configurable.

Ok, how? I already changed the :gitolite_server_port variable in the webinterface.

n-rodriguez · 2016-01-31T20:54:48Z

Well you might need to remove gitolite-admin.git dir from temp directory.
It will recloned with the right settings.

Tasks: TOP => redmine_git_hosting:update_repositories

I add puts admin_url before the clone_at function in the "/lib/gitolite/gitolite_admin.rb:211" file to see which url is used. The content of the url variable is ssh://gitolite@localhost/gitolite-admin.git. There is no port definition in it.

The documentation of the clone function form the "/lib/gitolite/gitolite_admin.rb:211" file:

    # Clone the gitolite-admin repo
    # to the given path.
    #
    # The repo is cloned from the url
    # +(:git_user)@(:hostname)/gitolite-admin.git+
    #
    # The hostname may use an optional :port to allow for custom SSH ports.
    # E.g., +git@localhost:2222/gitolite-admin.git+
    #

So, there must be a port definition in the provided url.

jblobb · 2016-02-05T03:06:51Z

I've had problems with changing settings via the webpage.

You can edit /redmine_install_dir/plugins/redmine_git_hosting/lib/default_settings.yml

Then manually update using the following CLI commands:

bundle install --without development test postgresql sqlite
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:plugins:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine_git_hosting:update_repositories
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine_git_hosting:fetch_changesets
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine_git_hosting:restore_default_settings
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine_git_hosting:install_hook_files
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine_git_hosting:install_hook_parameters
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine_git_hosting:install_gitolite_hooks

Then restart the server and it should be set, just don't use the gui to change any settings as it breaks the config.

n-rodriguez · 2016-02-09T00:18:32Z

Hi! Actually you could create this file : /redmine_install_dir/plugins/redmine_git_hosting/settings.yml to override any settings present in default_settings.yml. (you don't need to copy the whole file).

RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:plugins:migrate : useless in this case

RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine_git_hosting:install_hook_files : this one calls the 2 others :

RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine_git_hosting:install_hook_parameters
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine_git_hosting:install_gitolite_hooks

RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine_git_hosting:restore_default_settings : the task to run to update settings after any change in settings.ymlfile.

alchris · 2016-02-10T19:11:49Z

I have tried your suggestions, but it doesn't appear to work.

jblobb · 2016-02-11T01:56:23Z

@alchris can you ssh to the box when it's on the different port?

What Git server are you running? Have you change the port number within that config file?

Then changed the /redmine_install_dir/plugins/redmine_git_hosting/lib/default_settings.yml, then manually ran the hooks update via CLI, & Rebooted?

I always reboot after every setting change, a) to test b) to make sure all files have been loaded with the new config.

jblobb · 2016-02-14T22:26:20Z

@alchris Ok,

I don't have settings.yml, but I can see an error in your config...

$cat lib/default_settings.yml: gitolite_user: 'gitolite' gitolite_server_host: '127.0.0.1'

127.0.0.1 should be the IP address of the box / VM.

gitolite_server_host
gitolite_hooks_url
ssh_server_domain
http_server_domain
https_server_domain
http_server_subdir

They should be the IP of the Redmine box as well, then I would restart the box, to confirm that the changes have been applied to everything. Then run the Rake commands.

alchris · 2016-02-15T21:14:28Z

@jblobb:

The IP address is correct.
I will not restart our whole server to change settings of this plugin. This is not a suitable solution for us.

Today we decided to use gogs in the future, instead of this plugin.
Thanks for your help!

jblobb · 2016-02-15T22:26:20Z

@alchris I restart the server. BUT you can just restart redmine, which will still work.

When you pasted the config gitolite_server_host: '127.0.0.1' did you change this to mask your IP?

Have you tired
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine_git_hosting:install_hook_parameters RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine_git_hosting:install_gitolite_hooks?

As far as I can see gogs, doesn't integrate to Redmine.

Can you post a copy of lib/default_settings.yml if you need to mask your IP please replace with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

alchris · 2016-02-15T22:42:31Z

@jblobb
gitolite and redmine run on the same host, so 127.0.0.1 is the right IP address.

As far as I can see gogs, doesn't integrate to Redmine.

Yes I know, that's ok for us. Thanks!

jblobb · 2016-02-15T22:49:31Z

@alchris Yes, I understand that they are on the same host.

It's not suppose to be 127.0.0.1. When you ssh to that box you don't use 127.0.0.1 it's the IP address.

I was having issues with this plugin on the standard port 22. I think that you have changed all the other values, you just need to change that IP.

I'm 95% sure it will work just by changing that IP, in the the cli, then updating the hooks.

I've had 2 other people follow this guide I've made and it works.

alchris · 2016-02-15T23:02:18Z

ssh works with this IP:

$ ssh -i .ssh/gitolite_admin_id_rsa -p 1122 gitolite@127.0.0.1 info

hello admin, this is gitolite@localhost running gitolite3 3.6.1-2 (Debian) on git 2.1.4

 R W    gitolite-admin
 R W    testing

jblobb · 2016-02-16T00:00:30Z

Yes, that's because you're on the localhost, which means your forcing it to bind it to the localhost. So you get an Rugged::OSError: Failed to connect to localhost: Connection refused when you're trying to connect from another source.

I don't know what to tell you. I didn't write this plugin, I've just found the work around. I know setting 127.0.0.1 in the settings.yml won't allow you to connect, but using the IP address will.

alchris · 2016-02-16T21:16:04Z

@jblobb
Ok, I tried it with the external IP of the server. As expect, the problem still exists.

seberoth · 2016-02-22T19:08:07Z

Just had the same problem. After hours of debugging, I found the problem. See b43ffb4
