Gitosis won't create repository

I'm testing my new Git repository. I converted from Subversion to Git, no problem.

Now, on my laptop

git remote add origin git@server:test.git

returns correctly. But when I do

git push

I get

error:gitosis.serve.main:repository read access denied

And when I go to /srv/git/repositories on the server, the new re开发者_运维问答pository isn't created.

Is there a log file that I can look at somewhere to figure out what's going on?

Repositories cannot be created with git push. You have to use git init --bare on the server for that.

Carefully follow the "Setting Up" portion of the README. It describes access control. You'd be much better off using gitolite instead. It's easier to use and better-documented. Gitosis is pretty much dead.

I went ahead and switched to Gitolite. After tracking down some SSH issues it worked fine. Gitolite generates the repositories on the server when you push it.
