Re: git-clone works with ssh but not with http/https/git

quoted

So your clone address for git:// is wrong, you don't need the /pub/ 
git:
git clone git://erez.zilber@kites/erez.zilber/my_test.git
As you've moved the root of the filesystem as far as git-daemon is  
concerned
to /pub/git with the --base-path option.

I understand. However, when I try to run it according to your  
suggestion:

[root@kd001 t]# git clone git://erez.zilber@kites/erez.zilber/ 
my_test.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/erez.zilber/work/tmp/t/ 
my_test/.git/
fatal: Unable to look up erez.zilber@kites (port 9418) (Name or
service not known)
fetch-pack from 'git://erez.zilber@kites/erez.zilber/my_test.git'  
failed.

That error is saying that the name of the service is wrong, so you're  
right to do it without the "erez.zilber@" bit.

I also tried to run it without "erez.zilber@":

[root@kd001 t]# git clone git://kites/erez.zilber/my_test.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/erez.zilber/work/tmp/t/ 
my_test/.git/
kites[0: 172.16.1.11]: errno=Connection refused
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection refused)
fetch-pack from 'git://kites/erez.zilber/my_test.git' failed.

This looks like that either there is nothing listening (if you're  
running though xinetd have you restarted it? And have you added the  
right bits to /etc/services?) or there's a firewall in the way... git  
defaults to 9418 so check that it's open.

Is there any log file on the server that can help me trace this
problem (something like /var/log/httpd/error_log but for the git
protocol)?

on my machine (running via xinetd) it goes straight into /var/log/ 
messages. A grep -i git on that file should produce something.

Cheers,
