fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

  • The gist of our issue:

    “ssh: connect to host {hostname} port 7999: Permission denied
    fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly”

    …. when attempting to push/pull from a Stash/GIT server.

    —
    What we’ve tried:

    – Setting up the ssh-agent/ssh-add within the httpd init.d script (verified that the agent is indeed running under the same user that also runs Apache)
    – Able to perform a git push/pull from the same user in bash shell (propagates id_rsa key with no error)
    – Changed the Apache user to be able to exec a /bin/bash shell, vs. the default /sbin/nologin
    – Verified that “shell_exec” is not disabled in php.ini

    What isn’t clear is where Revisr is expecting to find the id_rsa key, and whether or not it’s using ssh-agent to propagate the priv key. How can we get a better debug log from the push/pull action?

    Hi,

    Sorry for the delay on this, I didn’t see this thread.

    Normally just having the SSH key in the home directory for the user running Apache/PHP should be enough to get it going. Revisr leaves authentication entirely up to Git – so if it works for that user in Git through command line but not through Revisr – then the usual first route of troubleshooting would be to check permissions, etc.

    Unfortunately right now there is no way to get more info on the push/pull – it’s just returning the error as returned from Git.

    Do you get the “Success!” message when entering your remote URL?

    It sounds like you’re trying to get this to work with a “www”, or “apache” user, is it possible to set up a dedicated user to run Revisr? If not, you may also have some luck with the HTTPS method.
