GitServer won't start / clone

[barrcodes]

I've spent a good 4 hours on this, and I'm at my wit's end. I got far enough that git *tries* to start, but fails.

For a while, this was catching me up:

2018-06-15 22:52:39,797 GitServerRequest-8    ERROR Git - GitTcpServer caught an error Access to the path "/myUserName/.plastic4/gitserver" is denied.

So I foolishly created a gitserver folder in my user's .plastic4 directory, and gave it rwx access to all users (because I think the issue is that plastic server uses a user called plasticscm, who didn't have access to a folder in my user's home). This did not solve the issue though, as gitserver now starts. However, when I try to clone, I get the following in my log:

 

2018-06-15 23:05:34,073 GitServerRequest-22    ERROR Git - GitTcpServer caught an error Sequence contains no elements

Hi,

I'm sorry you are facing problems when configuring GitServer.

- Let's set a custom path with write permissions in your server to generate the GitServer mappings.

https://www.plasticscm.com/documentation/gitserver/plastic-scm-version-control-gitserver-guide.shtml

 

# mapping storage - the mappings between git and plastic objects
# the default path is automatically generated by the server
storage.baseDirectory=e:\gitserver\mappings

- Once we have configured the custom path, we need to restart the Plastic server service and check if the mappings are being generated there. 

- In any issue still persists, please attach the full "plastic.debug.log.txt" so we can review it and debug the problem.

Regards,

Carlos.

I'm having a similar issue, when i try to start the server with gitserver.conf available, for some reason the whole thing cant start anymore and gives a:

I have no idea why it is doing this, checked every single conf file and there is nothing anywhere referring it to use that folder.

Changed the name on the gitserver.conf file and now the server starts fine.

my gitserver.conf looks like this:

# port configuration
tcp.port=9418
http.port=8080

# mapping storage - the mappings between git and plastic objects
# the default path is automatically generated by the server
storage.baseDirectory=/var/lib/plasticscm/git/

# mapping interval - how often GitServer looks for new changes
# on the Plastic side to make them available to git
# By default, it is 5 minutes (300 seconds)
mapping.interval=300

# repositories to be exported. By default, all repositories 
# will be available on GitServer unless a list is specified here
