Hi 
I setup a Gitea on windows 2012 server and want let gitea using remote disk storage which is windows network drives (e.g. w:\gitrepos).
I already specific ROOT in app.ini as below.
[repository]
ROOT = W:/gitrepos1
But when I did create repository via Gitea webgUI got 500 error. and log show.
[…routers/repo/repo.go:146 handleCreateError()] [E] CreatePost: initRepository: InitRepository: chdir W:\gitrepos1\itadmin\test1.git: The system cannot find the path specified.
Please advise.
Regards,
Bowman
I using Gitea 1.4.2 , windows 2012 r2 server.
I tried to using mklink command to creating symbolic links on networked drive that still no useful.
It seems Gitea have problems on access network drive.
D:>mklink /D “d:\gitrepos1” “W:\gitrepos1”
symbolic link created for d:\gitrepos1 <<===>> W:\gitrepos1
D:>net use
New connections will be remembered.
Status Local Remote Network
W: \\xyz\gitprod1 xyz Network
The command completed successfully.
#gitea.log
