I am getting 500 error about ginatra HOT 8 CLOSED

Same for me. Is there some possibility to enable some kind of logging? Or a verbose mode?

Did you set the correct path(s) for git_dirs in config.yml?

Check that

• it ends with an asterisk * (it is a glob)
• doesn't contain anything but folders with git repositories

Path should be absolute. https://github.com/NARKOZ/ginatra#configuration

Verbose mode is available if ginatra installed as an app. Just export RACK_ENV before starting the server:

RACK_ENV=development ./bin/ginatra run

Yes for me it was a problem with my git_dirs. Is there a reason why it is not allowed to have non git directories inside the same folder?

Thanks for the reports. I've released version 4.0.2 that changes this behaviour.

Very nice, thanks 👍

I have been having similar problems. There isn't much handling of cases where the user config file is absent or broken. I'd like to be able to specify a git repo on the command line at startup too. And some of my repos don't have .git/describe files which also causes a fail. Unless anyone else is working on this I'm happy to fork and do some work towards some pull requests.

@rogermarlow pull requests are appreciated.

On the other hand, each git repo has .git/description file by default, so that's a bit strange.

@NARKOZ agreed, but some repos were set-up a very long time ago, and I don't know when the description file convention came in. Looks like some geolite users might be in this situation depending on when they initialised their repos. See this StackOverflow thread http://stackoverflow.com/q/13015001/327074 . No big deal, it's easy to deal with.
