gitolite hooks - post-receive doesn't seem to work

I have gitolite configured on my repo. I see 2 copies of the hooks as documented in the gitolite literature. I would like the server-side hook po开发者_如何学Gost-receive to send email when someone does a push to the repo. I am using git-notifier. However, nothing happens when I push. I have modified both copies of the hooks, and I added a line to create a tmp file. After I push my changes to the repo, no tmp file is there and no email is sent. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You should run the following commands:

gitolite/src/gl-system-install
gl-setup

The only place you have to modify the hooks is on gitolite/hooks/common. The above commands takes care of updating the hooks in all repositories.
