Whenever I try to clone a repository from gitblit 1.7.1 (running on Windows Server 2008), I get a 503 error. However, this does not happen if I run the command on the server itself, even with the same URL:
Different machine:
$ git clone http://admin@server:9090/r/MyProject
Cloning into 'MyProject'...
fatal: unable to access 'http://admin@server:9090/r/MyProject/': The requested URL returned error: 503
On the same server:
$ git clone http://admin@server:9090/r/MyProject
Cloning into 'MyProject'...
remote: Counting objects: 3725, done
remote: Finding sources: 100% (3725/3725)
...
The last time I had a similar issue was scm-server when it had problems spawning a 'bash' process, but I cannot determine if this is the same problem.
I can't see any errors in the gitblit log files even though I set the logging to DEBUG (in the gitplit and log4j properties files). Where else can I check what the problem is?
The problem was related to the global git proxy setting on the client machine.
