RTC 5.0 Git integration, how do I troubleshoot an HTTP 500 error?


Jeff Birkner (15810) | asked May 06 '15, 3:28 p.m.
 Kiran, Kishore,

We are unable to connect to the Jazz RTC server when using the IBM Git pre-receive and post-receive hooks on our Git server.
We are using LDAP (Microsoft Active Directory) to authenticate the Git users.  This is also used by the Jazz system.

We have enabled 'LogLevel debug' in the Apache server and put DEBUG_PYT=true in the environment of the pre-receive hook of the project on the Git server.
The UserID is a member of the Jazz project area, we have granted access.  We have registered the Git repository.

When we try to do a 'git push origin master' from a client, we get:

$ git push origin master
Username for 'http://<GIT_SERVER_NAME>': <LDAP_USER_ID>
Password for 'http://<LDAP_USER_ID>@<GIT_SERVER_NAME>':

We are getting this error:  'remote: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error'

We checked the log on the system's reverse proxy server:

/cm/IBM/HTTPServer_8500/logs$ cat  access_log |grep 05/May/2015:16:21:3
10.2.243.224 - - [05/May/2015:16:21:31 -0400] "GET /ccm/rootservices HTTP/1.1" 200 9006
10.2.243.224 - - [05/May/2015:16:21:31 -0400] "POST /ccm/service/com.ibm.team.git.common.internal.IGitOperationRestService/ValidatePush HTTP/1.1" 401 35

This is the failure:
10.2.241.32 - - [05/May/2015:16:21:31 -0400] "POST /ccm/service/com.ibm.team.git.common.internal.IGitOperationInvokeService/ValidatePush HTTP/1.1" 500 -


The address 10.2.243.224 is the address of the CCM server.
The address 10.2.241.32 is the address of the Git server.

We believe the pre-receive hook is trying to connect to the RTC server through the Reverse Proxy server.
It looks like the userID (<LDAP_USER_ID>) is being recognized by the pre-receive hook.

If we remove the hooks on the Git server, we are able to complete the 'push' successfully.

1. How can we determine additional information about why the connection is failing?
2. What do we need to do to get this working?

A CCM server reset solved the problem.
