Hi Tim,
When setting up bibledit-web to use a remote repository, and going through all the steps, bibledit-web will clone the remote repository for its own use, and store it in /var/lib/bibledit-web/bibledit-web/git/<biblename>. The message "Cannot send and receive the data because the git repository was not found in the filesystem" occurs when bibledit-web cannot find folder .git there, that is, it cannot find /var/lib/bibledit-web/bibledit-web/git/<biblename>/.git.
I have seen this error in a few cases:
1. The bibledit-web installation was backed up, and restored: it does not restore the .git folder.
2. While setting up the connection to the remote repository, there was a permission failure so that the .git folder could not be created.
In case of 2, there will be an error message somewhere during the setup procedure. This error message could be on the setup web pages, or else in the logbook.
I hope that this information helps.
Regards,
Teus.
