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?

Below are related gitweb configs. What did I do wrong?

As the error message asks, did you run git update-server-info on the server?

You seem slightly confused. gitweb is not used for cloning over http. The following documents would almost certainly be beneficial for you to read. Please don't ask any questions that are already answered in those documents. If, by following the steps outlined in those docs, you still cannot get things to work, please let us know what you fail to understand so the texts can be amended.

Re: How to setup a public reposistory?

I followed the steps outlined by the links below. But, I am still not able to setup the public repository. I got, fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection refused). What I did wrong? Please help.

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html#setting-up-a-public-repository http://dtcsupport.gplhost.com/Git/Public-Repo-Howto

0. Prepare your name and email address
cat ~gyang/.gitconfig
[user]
        email = gyang@mycompany.com
        name = Gary Yang

1. Create an archive to send to the server

/home/gyang% git clone http://git.gplhost.com/dtc-xen.git

/home/gyang% git clone --bare dtc-xen dtc-xen.git

/home/gyang% touch dtc-xen.git/git-daemon-export-ok

/home/gyang% tar -cvzf dtc-xen.git.tar.gz dtc-xen.git

2. Install the archive on the web server

/pub/git% tar -xvzf /home/gyang/dtc-xen.git.tar.gz

/pub/git/dtc-xen.git% git --bare update-server-info

/pub/git/dtc-xen.git% mv hooks/post-update.sample hooks/post-update

/pub/git/dtc-xen.git% chmod +x hooks/post-update

/pub/git/dtc-xen.git% cat 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

3. Configure and start git daemon at the web server

/pub/git/dtc-xen.git% grep 9418 /etc/services git 9418/tcp # Git Version Control System

/pub/git/dtc-xen.git% sudo git daemon --verbose --inetd --export-all /pub/git &

4. At my local machine. I did

/home/gyang% git clone git://git.mycompany.com/pub/git/dtc-xen.git test-git

Initialized empty Git repository in //home/gyang/test-git/.git/ git.mycompany.com[0: 10.66.4.168]: errno=Connection refused fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection refused)

ps -efww | grep git root 9626 22321 0 11:31 pts/1 00:00:00 git-daemon --verbose --inetd --export-all /pub/git

You shouldn't give "--inetd" when starting from command line. Do like this:

  sudo git daemon --detach --verbose --export-all --base-path=/pub/git

Then clone dtc-xen.git using the following command:

  git clone git://git.mycompany.com/dtc-xen.git test-git

Yes, it's waiting for input from stdin, which is what "--inetd" does to a process. Do what I told you above and it'll work just grand.

For further troubleshooting, here are some things to try before asking about git-daemon again:

ping git.mycompany.com
  # should show reasonable response times

nc git.mycompany.com 9418
  # should give "connection refused", or there's a bug somewhere

ip=$(host git.mycompany.com | sed -n 's/.*has address //p'); echo $ip
  # should list the proper ip address

ssh root@git.mycompany.com "ip addr show | grep 'inet $ip'"
  # should list one ip-address

ssh root@git.mycompany.com "ps -efww | grep git-daemon"
  # should list one process

ssh root@git.mycompany.com "netstat -tpan | grep 0.0.0.0:9418"
  # should list the git-daemon

ssh root@git.mycompany.com "grep git-daemon /var/log/messages"
  # might show error messages from git-daemon
