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

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.

The problem was that it listened to requests coming from the local
machine. Now (after fixing that), everything seems to work. Thanks for
the help.

BTW - I'm currently running git-daemon in the following way:

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

Is there any advantage to run it through xinetd? How do you run it?

Thanks,
