fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

[Sebastian August]

Hi I'm trying to do my first push to a repo in a private install of gitorious.
I normally log into the host server with ssh without password using RSA private/public keys.
But when I try to use RSA keys for gitorious, it fails to push to a new repo in the admin user.

I do git push origin master and after some time get the error:

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

On the server,

tail -f /var/log/auth.log shows:

sshd[2347]: Accepted publickey for git from my_server

but

tail -f log/gitorious_auth.log shows:

FATAL -- : Errno::ETIMEDOUT Operation timed out - connect(2): /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in `initialize'

On the client,

ssh -T -vv my_server shows amongst other lines:

Is there anything I'm missing here?
Once this is working I should be able to start using this cool app without problems.

Gitorious will connect to itself over HTTP to check permissions when you try to push, this error message suggests this connection times out.

It will try connecting using to the host and port specified in gitorious.yml as:

- gitorious_client_host

- gitorious_client_port

Make sure those are configured properly in the production section and that your server indeed responds on that host and port.

I have 3 run conditions that may be causing the time out:

1. I'm using a numeric IP address.
    Web access hasn't had any problems eg I can login/out and create users/keys/projects.
    But I still get a fatal error using git to push from local to remote.

2. I'm running gitorious not from a subdomain/vhost but in suburl/folder eg numeric_ip_address/gitorious
    Again, web access to gitorious is resolving without problems.

3. I have gitorious running on port 80 but behind a reverse proxy that changes all http to https (443).
    I have ssl set to to true in gitorious.yml so that all pages are sent as https.
    If I have ssl set to true, should gitorious_client_port be 443?
    It doesn't seem to matter for web access as the reverse proxy is converting http to https fine.
    But of course, I still cannot push using git from local to remote.
   
These may seem rather messy complications, but they are quite standard real world settings, at least in a small underfunded pre-launch startup. =)

I need to use a numeric ip for hostname, so having gitorious in a subfolder is easier, and using a reverse proxy allows easy switching to different production servers based on suburls eg /gitorious while it serves https to PCs with private ssl certs used by developers remotely logging into dev apps eg /redmine.

I appreciate your help Marius and hope you can help me work around these conditions because it appears I am very close to having git pushing to gitorious, which will complete this gitorious installation.

I have tried to change the gitorious.yml settings you suggested but get the same fatal error while the gitorious log now shows that the hostname/servname isn't resolved.

This is what I am trying:

gitorious_client_port: 80

gitorious_client_host: numeric_ip_address/gitorious

gitorious_host: numeric_ip_address


I hope you can help me fix this.
