I've installed the recent version of GitLab on Ubuntu 14.04 and it works fine except pushing to the remote.

Running ssh git@example.com "git-receive-pack repo.git" works well. In ~/gitlab-shell/gitlab-shell.log, result is

INFO -- : gitlab-shell: executing git command git-receive-pack repo.git for user with key key-1.

But when I'm running git push, the log says:

WARN -- : gitlab-shell: Attempt to execute disallowed command git receive-pack 'repo.git' by user with key key-1.

And the output is:

fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: Disa

The output of ssh git@example.com "git receive-pack repo.git" is

"Disallowed command"

So the difference between allowed and disallowed is a missing dash.

My git versions:

  • Local git version: 2.2.1 (OS X)
  • Remote git version: 1.9.1 (Ubuntu 14.04)

How can I fix that? Is there a config param?

I have been having the same problem, and editing ~/.gitconfig solved the problem.

Something, at some time in the past, had modified my local ~/.gitconfig file and inserted this entry:

[remote "origin"]
        receivepack = git receive-pack

I modified it to the following, and now everything works well.

[remote "origin"]
        receivepack = git-receive-pack
