GIT Smart Http - R any CUT by fallthru

Question

I installed GIT on a Red Hat Linux server for use in a centralized repository and using an HTTP username and password to control user access from our Windows laptop.

Based on test.git repo, which comes as a sample repository, everything seems fine, but when I try to create a new repository, I get an error when trying to clone it.

C:\Users\kwkoh\messaging>git clone http://10.89.20.91/git/testing.git Cloning into 'testing'... remote: Counting objects: 36, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (33/33), done. remote: Total 36 (delta 9), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (36/36), done. Checking connectivity... done. 

On a Linux server, I created a new repository using the command below

 [ git@a0110tapidev01 repositories]$ git init --bare --shared messaging_v1.git Initialized empty shared Git repository in /home/git/repositories/messaging_v1.git/ C:\Users\kwkoh\messaging>git clone http://10.89.20.91/git/messaging_v1.git Cloning into 'messaging_v1'... ****fatal: remote error: FATAL: R any messaging_v1 edmund DENIED by fallthru (or you mis-spelled the reponame)** ** 

Since I do not use SSH, I believe that I do not need steps related to ssh-keygen. Are there any missing configuration steps for this new repository in /home/git/repositories/messaging_v1.git/ ?

Thanks.

Please note that when you create a bare repo for yourself on a git repository server controlled by a gitolite, the mentioned gitolit cannot add its hooks .

As mentioned in this section :

If you added new hooks to it, you should run gitolite setup or at least gitolite setup --hooks-only .

Try running at least gitolite setup --hooks-only to see if the repo is executed correctly.
If this is not enough, run gitolite setup .
