Error code 255 when pushing to mercurial

Question

I've setup mercurial hg on a windows server to control the source of a website I work on.

On my local machine, I can pull from the remote repository, but not push. It gives me an authentication error. authorization failed , error code : 255

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Answer 1

How are you hosting this remote repository? This page has more information on configuring authentication for different ways of publishing repositories.

Answer 2

My solution! If your are on Windows OS, you need to edit folder properties. Read/write permission.

screenshoot folder properties example

Very Important!! Dont forget turn off the web server, edit folder properties and turn on again the web server tortoiseHG
