Running on Windows 7 I've installed IIS7 and followed the instructions here. I've managed to setup the bonobo git server and use it. I made an empty test repo, and when I tried cloning the repo using git shell using the command

git clone hxxp://myhost/Bonobo.Git.Server/test-repo.git

(when: hxxp == http)

it put out

git clone hxxp://myhost/Bonobo.Git.Server/test-repo.git Cloning into 'test-repo'... fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

(when myhost is localhost) Am I missing something? I've tried to play with the Win7 and IIS7 access rights and it didn't work

  • In the end I just decided to deviate from the installation instructions, instead of loading the folder in IIS7 and turning it into an application I've instead turned it into a web site. I've disabled all manner of authentication and currently even anonymous users can,in fact, fetch the repos and push. I guess the problem was security, what was it exactly I don't know. but at least the repos are useable now between workstations. but as the repos grow, I would very much like them being more secured! – svarog Dec 22 '14 at 06:31

Bonobo serves git repositories hosted with it via http protocol.

I believe the following should work (http instead of hxxp).

git clone http://myhost/Bonobo.Git.Server/test-repo.git

If it doesn't work try:

git clone http://myhost/test-repo.git

  • i've added hxxp instead of http so that stackoverflow won't highlight it as a link. the problem is the either win7 or iis7 is blocking git requests going through bonobo running on localhost – svarog Dec 14 '14 at 09:25
