1007444 - git clone fails on rhel linux

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Hello (Loop) :: Server, defect)

Description

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

This is what I see:
git clone https://github.com/mozilla-services/loop-server.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ec2-user/loop-server/.git/
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden while accessing https://github.com/mozilla-services/loop-server.git/info/refs

fatal: HTTP request failed

I am going to assume this is a permissions thing since loop-server is marked private. But! This does work on ubuntu (after being asked for user/pwd).

What's the trick for getting this working with rhel?

You should use the ssh link with ForwardAgent activated so it will use your ssh private key to let the magic happend.

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

I am not really sure what you mean here?
Usually I get asked for the login/password to my GitHub account with a "git clone" request to a private repo.

What are the steps then?

Comment 3

[Rémy Hubscher (:natim)]

I added you to the loop-server team on github. Could you try again?

Thank you.

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

Tried again. Still fails:
git clone https://github.com/mozilla-services/loop-server.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ec2-user/loop-server/.git/
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden while accessing https://github.com/mozilla-services/loop-server.git/info/refs

fatal: HTTP request failed

Can you try to use the SSH github endpoint?

    git clone [e-mail]:mozilla-services/loop-server.git

Comment 6

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

Amazingly that does not work either!

git clone [e-mail]:mozilla-services/loop-server.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ec2-user/loop-server/.git/

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

I am now wondering what is unique about my AWS instances Ubuntu vs. rhel/scilinux

And, of course I can not download the master.zip to any host...

Can you display the source code on https://github.com/mozilla-services/loop-server ?

Comment 8

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

yea, I sure can. 
I seem to have full access to the repo, so I am not sure why I can not pull it down onto a rhel system...

Comment 9

[Rémy Hubscher (:natim)]

I am a bit confused then :s

Comment 10

[Rémy Hubscher (:natim)]

Are you trying to do the clone in the loop.stage.mozaws.net server?

Comment 11

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

Nope. I am doing a "git clone" from my laptop or from an AWS instance.
This technique works for all other repos I use (although I have not tried another private repo on AWS for a long time).

:rfkelly do you have a rhel VM or instance we can try this on?

Comment 12

[Ryan Kelly [:rfkelly]]

It works for my on my Fedora VM, which is the closed thing I have at the moment.  If you give me ssh on one of your AWS boxes I can try from them, and see if it's a problem with the machine or with your github perms.

Comment 13

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

Gave :rfkelly access to my AWS boxes and it works for him.
We debugged for a good 30min and came up with nothing.

Comment 14

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

Since this does work for me from my Mac and my ubuntu AWS instance (both not from my VMs or my rhel AWS instances), I am just going to close the bug.

If this gets to be more of an issue, we can work on some other method....

Comment 15

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

Well, interesting. With brand new AWS instances, this works just fine...
