Can anybody help me with defining a valid path to a Git repo on a new
installation?
I just built Git on a webserver (a VPS so I have root access). When I
try clone or push I get this error:
fatal: '/git/watchsite.git': unable to chdir or not a git archive
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fetch-pack from 'ssh://me@mydomain.com/git/projectname.git' failed.
Why this when I can use wget on this path:
wget mydomain.com/git/projectname.git/file.html
The above successfully downloads the file, so the path is valid, right?
I also did "git init" on the remote repo (not sure if that's necessary?).
I tried the following commands locally and all fail with the error above:
git clone ssh://me@mydomain.com/git/projectname.git/
git clone http://mydomain.com/git/projectname.git/
git push ssh://me@mydomain.com/git/projectname.git/ master
Is there a syntax error or something I need to set up on the remote server?
Thanks,
Marcus

ssh://me@mydomain.com/git/projectname.git means the folder
/git/projectname.git in host mydomain.com
http://mydomain.com/git/projectname.git/file.html means whatever folder
your webserver is mapping /git/projectname.git to. Usually,
/var/www/html/git/projectname.git.
I also did "git init" on the remote repo (not sure if that's necessary?).
What is the correct path on the remote? Note that ssh://host/dir isn't
the same as host:dir (both are acceptable), as the latter means ~me/dir,
while the former means /dir.
You could switch to the me@host:path location, or add a ~/:
ssh://me@host/~/dir

The full path to the Git repo is:
/home/admin/mydomain.com/git/projectname.git
I tried:
git clone ssh://admin@mydomain.com/~/git/projectname.git
It gives the same error.

Try
git clone admin@mydomain.com:/home/admin/mydomain.com/git/projectname.git
or (assuming /home/admin is your home directory)
git clone admin@mydomain.com:mydomain.com/git/projectname.git
or (if you can't live without the ssh: protocol specifier)
git clone \
ssh://admin@mydomain.com/home/admin/mydomain.com/git/projectname.git
