I started with just a local repository, then wanted to start using a web-accessible server. I got the web server up and serving a bare repository with the CGI script.
I tried pushing to it, but got some message to the effect of "wrong repository name" (sorry, I ran out of scrollback in that terminal). So I tried scp-ing my local copy of the repository up and serving that. When I tried to push from local to the copy, I got a message about a server loop. Seeing similar code in the mailing list archive, I tried fossil clone /local/repository.fsl http://name:pas...@server/path but got: fossil: cannot open "http://name:pas...@server/path"; for writing So I closed out my local repository and let the copy on the server become the origin. I created a new repository locally by cloning the server, and eventually was able to push and pull. (I also ran into the same problem that some others did earlier this month where I pushing or syncing--even with username and password specified in the url--resulted in a message about no write permissions until I first pulled with full credentials.) So, besides the password/permissions issue, the only way I came up with to start using a local repo with a remote server was to copy my local repo to the server, delete (or ignore) my local repo, and recreate my local repo by cloning the server. Is that the only way, or did I miss something? -- Joshua Paine LetterBlock: Web applications built with joy http://letterblock.com/ 301-576-1920 _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
