Git server side hook not firing - how to check

Question

I'm trying to enforce some policies between a Git and Rational Team Concert using server side hooks. i.e. pre-receive one, but that hook seems not to be fired. Even susbsituting given rational hook with a simple bash shell that rename a file this doesn't appear to be executed. I put the script under /hooks dir with 755 permission, it works fine if executed from the shell. How can I check where problem is? Which log can I look at ?

This is the simple shell I'm trying to execute as pre-receive hook

#mv /tmp/ss/daeseguire.txt /tmp/ss/eseguito.txt
exit 1

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Don't forget that a pre-receive hook is a server-side hook.

That means, if you have a local git repo nested within your RTC sandbox (which is the local checkout of an RTC repo workspace), that local Git repo will not execute a .git/hooks/pre-receive script.

If you have setup the RTC-Git integration, then the official documentation is "Configuring Git and Gerrit server-side hooks".
But it supposes the configuration step is done and working, which means you can look at the Apache log to see if there is any clues.
