Repository not created on disk although interface says "Project was successfully created"

Created by: pravincar

I've just installed gitlab on Ubuntu 12.04 following the instructions on the wiki. The database I'm using is Postgres compiled from source.

When I create a project in the web interface, although it gets created and shows up on subsequent login, the repo.git file does not appear in the git/repositories folder.

All the check were ok and the web application runs perfectly. I am able to create projects, users, add keys etc.

In order to test if gitolite was working, I've cloned the gitolite-admin repo and added a new repository to gitolite.conf. On pushing to the server, the new repo was created.

There is no error in the application or production log. Any ideas of what the issue could be and ways to trace this?

The permissions of the repositories folder are as follows:

drwxrwxr-x 5 git git 4096 Oct 25 12:04 repositories
