POHow to setup/debug github WebHook?
text
Body
copied!<p>I have this local repo, I make changes and run:</p> <pre><code>git add . git commit -m "message" git push -u origin master </code></pre> <p>My github has two WebHooks set-up, one going to a <a href="http://requestb.in" rel="nofollow">http://requestb.in</a> URL and another one going to a PHP executable script (755), in the same folder (accessible from outside). </p> <p>The PHP script:</p> <pre><code><?php echo `git pull origin master`; // echo "works"; // echo `whoami` ?> </code></pre> <p>The commented test lines are working so this is my proof that the script path is OK and also the syntax.</p> <p>However, after I push changes from local to github repo, I check files on the server but nothing happens, is obvious echo <code>git pull origin master</code> from my PHP script does nothing. </p> <p>If I run this in a shell logged as a root (git pull origin master), the files are getting updated with the latest version from the repo.</p> <p>Also, the second hook I have set-up, the one from requestb.in works as I can see the requests from github.</p> <p>My folder on the server has the right permission, is accessible form the outside, I am desperate and I don't know how to get this working.</p> <p><strong>What is wrong, how can I make this working? How do I set-up the WebHook in the admin panel in github</strong>, or is it the PHP script, is there a permissions issue, what's wrong?! :O</p> <p>Thank you.</p> <p>Update after my 3 comments: After dealing with it for couple more hours, I can clearly see that the WebHook doesn't really fire up the php file. If I run in shell logged as a root "php test.php" I get:</p> <pre><code>root@echo [/home/moove/public_html/dev/wert]# php hooh.php remote: Counting objects: 5, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1/1), done. remote: Total 3 (delta 1), reused 3 (delta 1) Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done. From github.com:chrisdemetriad/wert * branch master -> FETCH_HEAD Updating 0c67b85..89e4fdf Fast-forward XXX.php | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) root@echo [/home/moove/public_html/dev/wert]# </code></pre> <p>Which is what I need and the files on the server get updated. But if I don't do it manually, the files do not get updated and this must be because of the php script. My latest version that works:</p> <pre><code><?php echo `git pull origin master`; </code></pre>
