I try to push my commit on a private repository (which has been working since about five years). This is the output of git push: me@superstar:/var/www/scorte$ git push --verbose Pushing to http://isisenscorte:mypassword@mymachine/scorte_git Getting pack list Fetching remote heads... refs/ refs/tags/ refs/heads/ updating 'refs/heads/master' from d9fd2e49cb0c32a6d8fddcff2954f04b4104d176 to 23d8edfb7fa70bce44c21a7f93064c08a7288e23 sending 6 objects MOVE 33fcba80fdec82f43f995e5c693255da075358be failed, aborting (52/0) MOVE 60e1a097d50fe62319413ed20129580cf175d1ca failed, aborting (52/0) MOVE cfea41ef02f9aef5cecfbf7eac5a9e55975113f4 failed, aborting (52/0) MOVE 3d87ab6ff7652f2b30e48612b70c8335d4625699 failed, aborting (52/0) MOVE 4adb1b39e0446e0bfc3182258ff1cd7077871f7f failed, aborting (52/0) Updating remote server info fatal: git-http-push failed Looking at apache logs, I've got this output 192.168.240.127 - myusername [07/Feb/2017:19:57:01 +0100] "PROPFIND /scorte_git/objects/23/ HTTP/1.1" 207 6003 "-" "git/1.7.0.4" 192.168.240.127 - myusername [07/Feb/2017:19:57:01 +0100] "PROPFIND /scorte_git/objects/60/ HTTP/1.1" 207 7651 "-" "git/1.7.0.4" 192.168.240.127 - myusername [07/Feb/2017:19:57:02 +0100] "PROPFIND /scorte_git/objects/4a/ HTTP/1.1" 207 3640 "-" "git/1.7.0.4" 192.168.240.127 - myusername [07/Feb/2017:19:57:02 +0100] "PROPFIND /scorte_git/objects/3d/ HTTP/1.1" 207 13742 "-" "git/1.7.0.4" 192.168.240.127 - myusername [07/Feb/2017:19:57:02 +0100] "PROPFIND /scorte_git/objects/cf/ HTTP/1.1" 207 13799 "-" "git/1.7.0.4" 192.168.240.127 - myusername [07/Feb/2017:19:57:02 +0100] "PROPFIND /scorte_git/objects/33/ HTTP/1.1" 207 13783 "-" "git/1.7.0.4" 192.168.240.127 - - [07/Feb/2017:19:57:02 +0100] "PUT /scorte_git/objects/3d/87ab6ff7652f2b30e48612b70c8335d4625699_8d42f74642dae7 7465d1fbfafbd720f67a1919f4 HTTP/1.1" 401 810 "-" "git/1.7.0.4" 192.168.240.127 - - [07/Feb/2017:19:57:02 +0100] "PUT /scorte_git/objects/cf/ea41ef02f9aef5cecfbf7eac5a9e55975113f4_8d42f74642dae7 7465d1fbfafbd720f67a1919f4 HTTP/1.1" 401 810 "-" "git/1.7.0.4" 192.168.240.127 - myusername [07/Feb/2017:19:57:02 +0100] "PUT /scorte_git/objects/33/fcba80fdec82f43f995e5c693255da075358be_8d42f74642dae7 7465d1fbfafbd720f67a1919f4 HTTP/1.1" 201 809 "-" "git/1.7.0.4" 192.168.240.127 - - [07/Feb/2017:19:57:02 +0100] "PUT /scorte_git/objects/4a/db1b39e0446e0bfc3182258ff1cd7077871f7f_8d42f74642dae7 7465d1fbfafbd720f67a1919f4 HTTP/1.1" 401 810 "-" "git/1.7.0.4" 192.168.240.127 - - [07/Feb/2017:19:57:02 +0100] "PUT /scorte_git/objects/60/e1a097d50fe62319413ed20129580cf175d1ca_8d42f74642dae7 7465d1fbfafbd720f67a1919f4 HTTP/1.1" 401 810 "-" "git/1.7.0.4" It looks like I'm getting 401 errors on every line where username is missing. Permissions on the unauthorized object folders are 777 everywhere. My git version is 1.7.0.4 on both client and server. Do you have any clue of this strange behaviour? Thank you in advance, Alex
