Unable to clone stash git repository over http

[RVal]

I was working with Stash git repositories for a while by now and everything looked normal.

But today I tried to clone git repository and got the following error.

remote: Counting objects: 750, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (571/571), done.
error: RPC failed; result=56, HTTP code = 200| 11.66 MiB/s
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed
warning: http unexpectedly said: '0000'

Here is what I see in atlassian-stash.log

SmartExitHandler Request for repo 'XXX' of project 'YYY' from '10.83.51.17' failed: read process '/usr/bin/git http-backend' caused an exception
Process's error output: error: git-upload-pack died of signal 13

I tried multiple times with the same result. Any ideas on what could be the problem ?

I also tried to clone with SourceTree and got the same error.

Looks like issue was in my network card settings. After I increased transmit / receive buffer sizes and reset it couple times, git clone started working.

Thank you everybody for help.

This guy solved it by setting the correct permissions on the server (not using stash, but this could also apply to your issue)

Yes I saw this post about permissions to directory. That would affect all clients but I have only one client not able to clone. So looks like I have a different issue.

Any chance that your repostory is broken somehow? Does this happen with all repos or only a particular one?

I tried 2 other repositories and got the same error.

I have stash installed on Linux VM. Should I run 'git fsck' or other git CLI on this VM ? What directory should I run it in under stash-home ?

[Balázs Szakmáry]

It is not very probable that all of your repos are broken. I can imagine 2 possibilities now:

- It is a local issue with the client you are trying to clone to.

- A port (range) of the server is unreachable.

Can you try from another computer? If it works, than it is an issue with the client. If it does not, check your firewall/network settings.

Yes, it looks like local issue at this point. Clone from another computer worked fine although took longer than usual.

If you do not have the latest version of Git installed, I would start by upgrading it.

Upgraded GIT to version 1.9.4 but still see the same issue. Also earlier I did not see it so it is unlikely to be version issue.
