I would check with the folks on IRC. Especially as you are on windows I have no clue.

@tcurdt

I can push my new repo to server with luck finally. I revise the new created repo ownership to gituser on my server. And then I can git push with luck.

@tcurdt

I can push by creating a new repo on server and typing the correct repo path. But another error occurs when I was pushing

error: unable to create temporary sha1 filename ./objects/46: Permission denied

fatal: failed to write object
error: unpack failed: unpacker exited with error code
To gitter@192.168.1.22:~gitter/repositories/newrepo.git
! [remote rejected] master -> master (n/a (unpacker error))
error: failed to push some refs to ‘gitter@192.168.1.22:~gitter/repositories/newrepo.git’

Have u ever encountered this issue??

@Elvis: I might have missed out on one step.

Just create the a bare repository where it is supposed to be on the server with “git init –bare”. Let me know if that fixed it.

I write my steps, can u help to point out where i’m wrong?

After I clone gitosis-admin.git from server

1. First I edit gitosis.conf and add
[group testrepo]
writable = testrepo
members = git-testing

2. mkdir testrepo under directory gitosis-admin-git
3. cd testrepo and then git init-db
4. touch readme and then git add readme
5. git commit -a -m “initial import”
6. git remote add origin git@my.server.name:testrepo.git
7. git push –all (git push origin master)

Result : fatal: ‘testrepo.git’: unable to chdir or not a git archive
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

p.s : In step 7 “:testrepo.git” should I list the specified path? example “:/home/user/gitosis-admin.git/android.git”.

I did the final push for my new created project to server. It always show me that newproject.git unable to chdir or not a git archive.

Any hint for me, I’ve been bothering on this issue for days!! Thanks!!

BTW, set gitosis.conf correctly is required before init and then push a new project??

apt-get install cdbs also seems to be a dependency that you didn’t mention, at least on my machine. Thanks for the helpful guide!

I like your last line “git push –all”. I was using a more complicated version indicated in the gitosis README (that I found hard to remember). Now I’ll keep in mind ‘–all’ :)
