I ran the command, git update-server-info at the public repository machine. But, I still got the same error.

git pull http://git.mycompany.com/pub/git/u-boot.git HEAD fatal: http://git.mycompany.com/pub/git/u-boot.git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

The file /pub/git/u-boot.git/info/refs do exist.

cat /pub/git/u-boot.git/info/refs 87ee4576c4c31b7046fe2bbbdf309eaba5c3f346 refs/heads/master

My question:
Is the contet of /pub/git/u-boot.git/hooks/post-update correct? Should I change "exec git-update-server-info" to "exec git update-server-info"?

cat /pub/git/u-boot.git/hooks/post-update #!/bin/sh # # An example hook script to prepare a packed repository for use over # dumb transports. # # To enable this hook, rename this file to "post-update". exec git-update-server-info

I tried and changed "exec git-update-server-info" to "exec git update-server-info" in /pub/git/u-boot.git/hooks/post-update. But, I still got same error. git pull http://git.mycompany.com/pub/git/u-boot.git HEAD fatal: http://git.mycompany.com/pub/git/u-boot.git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

Which one is correct? "exec git-update-server-info" or "exec git update-server-info"? Eventhogh none of them working.
Below are my settings:

grep 9418 /etc/services git 9418/tcp # Git Version Control System

grep git /etc/inetd.conf git stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-daemon git-daemon --inetd --export-all /pub/git

cat /etc/xinetd.d/git-daemon
# default: off
# description: The git server offers access to git repositories
service git
{
        disable = no
        type            = UNLISTED
        port            = 9418
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = nobody
        server          = /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-daemon
        server_args     = --inetd --export-all --base-path=/pub/git
        log_on_failure  += USERID
}

I am running git at Linux box: uname -a Linux svdclw004 2.6.9-67.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 7 13:56:44 EST 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Are there anything wrong? Please let me know.
