git: fatal: Could not read from remote repository
(60 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I am able to log onto GitHub on the internet and I have permissions to see the project (I am even able to download it in zip file format). But somehow I am unable to make the connection to GitHub through the IDE of Intellij IDEA.
I have set up the connection -- properly, apparently -- using the "Settings" dialog in the IDE on the "GetHub" option under "Version Control", because when I click on the "Test" button, there is a pop up message that says "Connection successful"
I followed the steps on this website:
Java Intellj with GitHub
... for the most part. The only reason I did not follow the final steps to the letter was because I already had a project open and I had to close the IDE and reopen it because of this.
Now, in the dialog that comes up at the beginning when you restart Intellij IDEA with the title "Welcome to IntelliJ IDEA", I am prompted with "Check out from Version Control" but when I try to connect, nothing happens. Then, when I click on the "Events" prompt, it comes up saying:
**Clone Failed**
Could not read from remote repository.
Please advise.
Teaming up with coworkers helped lead to the solution. From the Welcome window, there is the option to clone a repository. The default URL options that are populated and presented in a drop down list have the wrong format for a URL. They each start with "git#github.com..." which is not correct.
I put the proper URL address to our repository on github.com in this field, and soon everything fell into place
IntelliJ uses command-line git client to clone/push/pull. Looks like you either use SSH-based access which is not properly configured, or git client has some cached credentials that do not work for the URL you are trying to clone from.
If it is SSH-based access, make sure you have all the keys in place and .ssh/config set (if ket names are non-default).
If it is HTTP-based access, check if there are some credentials saved, try clearing or disabling credential-helper.
You should also check the Console tab of the Version Control toolwindow for the full error message, maybe there is something else.
I'm totally confused with openshift+netbeans. This is my openshift app and repository address
When I try to "Clone repository" in order to develop locally I meet "Incorrect credentials for repository at ssh..." I also noticed that it is not possible to put the URL provided by openshift to "Repository URL" field in Netbeans "Clone repository" tool. Clone repository screenshot
I meet "Incorrect credentials for repository at ssh..."
Yes, as expected, because you use (in Netbeans) strange and unknown username.
Format of ssh-URL is well-known and predefined. For SSH-served Git-repos it's
ssh://[USERNAME#]HOSTNAME:[PORT]/PATH/TO/REPO.git
optional parameters are []-ed
If Netbeans doesn't accept username in URL, you must use same name, as suggested in app's configuration (long HEX-string), for SSH, not username ...#yandex.ru (this is login for OpenShift, not for SSH).
And you can start from getting functional SSH-connection (SSH-client with interactive authentication) before configuring VCS settings in Netbeans
OK, it works! So the solution is:
Repository URL like: ssh://myapp-mydomen.rhcloud.com/~/git/caswp.git/
User name is like: 123e31f89f5cf29a111110e (you can find it on OPENSHIFT ONLINE on app page)
I used "private key". The file name is - id_rsa Normally you can find it in folder - C:\Users\UserName.ssh\
From my experience I can tell that its just an user information miss match issue. I have two repository at bitbucket.org. I was trying to clone with wrong username/password from netbeans where Netbeans checks authentication.
Suddenly i notice that and correct the username/password and BANG it works... no error!!!.
I'm following the instructions for installing Ardor3D as an Eclipse Project Set via Subclipse; instructions at:
http://www.ardor3d.com/wiki/svneclipsetutorial
I installed Subclipse from
http://subclipse.tigris.org/
and installed fine. If I go to Eclipse's Preferences and Team|SVN I can see that the SVN Interface Client is JavaHL, and hence installed fine.
However, when I come to checkout the code at:
http://ardorlabs.svn.cvsdude.com/Ardor3Dv1
by selecting New|Other|SVN|Check Projects from SVN I get the following error message:
RA layer request failed
svn: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://ardorlabs.svn.cvsdude.com/Ardor3Dv1'
svn: OPTIONS of 'http://ardorlabs.svn.cvsdude.com/Ardor3Dv1': could not connect to server (http://ardorlabs.svn.cvsdude.com)
I know the URL is valid as I can install the above fine on my work m/c of WinXP. However, the same installation on my personal laptop of Win7 fails to connect.
I tried temporarily disabling the firewall and it still fails.
I've tried playing around with the config and server files in:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Subversion
but to be honest not 100% sure as what to change, if anything as I'm not using proxy settings.
If there's an expert out there who's knows the solution to this problem I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks
Graham
PS. I find the error message "RA layer request failed" confusing as the URL is valid.
I had exactly the same problem, which turned out to be caused by a proxy server. The solution to my problem was to configure subversion to work with the proxy server, however it was not obvious how to do this.
You should have a directory similar to : C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Subversion
In that directory there will be a file called servers.
I un-commented and edited the following entries and my subversion is now working fine with Eclipse:
http-proxy-host
http-proxy-port
http-proxy-username
http-proxy-password
Why exactly you can't configure this through Eclipse is abit of a mystery, but there you go.
Another user account could login, I got the error as described above. The difference was the Proxy setting which was missing in my account. It is stored per user in the Registry and I could easily change this in the Tortoise SVN config.
We encountered this error with our server. While we were able to successfully access the CollabNet 5 SVN admin console, navigating to the repository to browse it from the admin console would fail. We also were not able to connect from Subclipse clients.
The problem turned out we were not hitting the correct port on the server. We had reconfigured the default port from 80 to 4343 and the admin console reported the changed setting but the server was still running on 80.
For what it's worth, in order for the configuration change to stick, we had to bring the repo server down and make the change in the admin console and then restart the machine. We were then able to browse the repo from the link in the admin console.
I was trying to add the PDT,
Indigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo.
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo.
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo is not a valid repository location.
So what's the correct url ? I went and looked lots of places. Can someone point me to the exact link ?
Edit :
Problem once you go to http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo , you will see the below error. So I guess its moved somewhere.
This software repository URL, http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/ , provides access to the software repository for the Eclipse indigo release. Until its released in June 2011, it will contain milestone builds.
The repository site URL is typically pre-populated in the list of software repositories when you install the Eclipse Platform or SDK.
For more information about installing or updating software, see the Eclipse Platform Help.
There is also a collection of handy, downloadable all-in-one zip files available for many interests and platforms. Many people find these all-in-one packages the easiest way to get started.
Can you connect to internet at all through Eclipse?
Open the internal webbrowser. In Eclipse: Window -> show view -> Other -> General: Internal web browser.
Look up any normal adress, is it working?
Can you connect to another update site? Try for example Eclipse Emma:
http://update.eclemma.org/
Do you see anything there?
What are your proxy preferences? Go to Window -> preferences -> General: Network connections.
The active provider:
Specifies the settings profile to be used when opening connections. Choosing the Direct provider causes all the connections to be opened without the use of a proxy server. Selecting Manual causes settings defined in Eclipse to be used. On some platforms there is also a Native provider available, selecting this one causes settings that were discovered in the OS to be used.
If internet is working fine outside of Eclipse, try changing to Native. After that, try Direct.
I have encountered problems where an update site would not load, then I had to remove it and add it again. This forces Eclipse to reread the contents of the site even if it has a cached copy. So, if you still get no connection to the indigo update site, but everything else is working, try that. Go to Window -> Preferences -> Install/update: Available Software sites. Then remove and add the indigo site. Just remember to copy the adress so you can add it again.
As suggested in a comment below by #lostiniceland, this is a simpler way to achieve the above:
Goto Window -> Preferences -> Install Update -> Available Software Sites => select the entry and click the "Reload" button to the right. This is sometimes also helpful when you have a local updatesite for testing custom plugins
I had the same problem and resolved it by
Deleting the cache directory \eclipse\p2\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository\cache
Refreshing the repositories.
Preferences -> Install Update -> Available Software Sites => select the entry
Click the "Reload"
Check if you are able to connect to eclipse market place url (http://marketplace.eclipse.org/) from browser. If its working then the issue is because of proxy server using in your network.
We have to update eclipse with proxy server details used in our network.
Go to :- Windows-> Preference -> General -> Network Connections.
And edit HTTP ,with proxy details.
Click OK
Done.
I was having this problem and it turned out to be our firewall. It has some very general functions for blocking ActiveX, Java, etc., and the Java functionality was blocking the jar downloads as Eclipse attempted them.
The firewall was returning an html page explaining that the content was blocked, which of course went unseen. Thank goodness for Wireshark :)
Another way to solve this kind of error is to start eclipse with this argument
-vmargs -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
Working fine with Eclipse (x64) 4.3.1
Had this problem in Linux, and I found that the user doesn't have permission to update the eclipse directory
change the owner of eclipse folder recursively, or run eclipse with user who has write permission to the folder
In Windows 7 32-bit version, I started the eclipse with as an administrator. This worked for me.
I had the same problem. Try to deactivate your Firewall (I had avast!), which worked for me.
(Sorry for my English I'm French :D)
Please make sure you are using correct url. If You are using url - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo on your eclipse luna(v4.4) then it might be not working in this case you should use - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna
I have tried this and its working.
What worked for me:
Since yesterday, I have been trying to install the Eclipse plugin - "Remote System Explorer" from the Eclipse marketplace on a freshly downloaded Eclipse 4.8 as shown below,
and everytime I was getting this error:
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler/.
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler/201306260900/content.jar.
download.eclipse.org:80 failed to respond
which brought me to this SO post.
I tried a few solutions mentioned here in the different answers like this one and this one and this one, but none of them worked. I just gave up almost, thinking that either the corporate network here is somehow blocking the specific download requests or the 4.8 version of Eclipse is buggy.
Discovery:
I could not reload all the paths under 'Window' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Install/Update' -> 'Available Software Sites'.
Preconditions:
What did work for me from the beginning was:
I could open google.com from the internal web browser of eclipse and,
some of the update paths, I could reload even. (As was mentioned as a possible solution or test, in some of the answers here, like this one.)
Finally, this answer put me on the right track - for my specific case, at least. Just my step was to do the exact opposite of what that answer was doing.
Solution:
I had to change all the http:\\ paths to https:\\ and suddenly it started to work. I don't know who - either IE/Edge on Windows 10 or the Windows 10 firewall or the company firewall is blocking HTTP communications. But with HTTPS, I can finally install plugins from the Marketplace.
HTTPS reload works
I must say, what is strange is that not all the paths required https. Except a few, the rest seemed to have had no problem working with HTTP. But I anyways changed all to HTTPS, just for good measure.
Then reload all the repositories one by one. Press "Apply and close".
Then check for updates. Eclipse will update itself successfully now.
Restart after update.
Finally you can install whichever Plugin you would like to from the Eclipse Marketplace.
Note: In case during the update, this same error pops up again, then see in the repositories that any new paths added by eclipse during the update, are also HTTPS and not HTTP.
Kudos to #Fredrik above. His answer didn't work for me, but lead me to the resolution of my issue:
In 'Window'|'Preferences'|'Install/Update'|'Available Software Sites'. The location that I was attempting to install from the 'Marketplace' was getting inserted with an https:// URL. Editing this to http:// allowed me to then use 'Help'|Install New Software ...' to select the repository from the drop down 'Work with:' combobox instead of having the https:// one automatically inserted and used.
For eclipse, there are normally different options available:
If you want to use the PHP development environment (only), you should go with the corresponding distro of eclipse. There is a distro for PHP provided by Zend.
You may add PDT to an indigo release by doing the following steps:
Check if an update site for PDT is included in your eclipse installation:
Open the Help > Install New Software dialog.
Click there on the link Available Software Sites.
In the list, the URL http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo should be marked.
Close the dialog.
Select from the Work with list the site with the right URL.
Enter in the filter box PDT and search in the list for the PDT tooling you want to install.
Install the PDT tooling.
If that does not work, you may download a complete update site from the PDT project site.
Visit the site (URL above).
Click on downloads.
Search there for the string "all in one update site".
Download the zip file.
Install it in your Indigo installation. Help > Install New Software > Add... > Enter name and select from button Archive the zip file
I hope some of the installation instructions will work for you.
This is the correct URL. Chances are Eclipse cannot read it properly because of the Internet connexion.
Are you using a proxy to get Internet access? If this is the case you need to notify Eclipse via the "Preferences/General/Network Connections" menu.
That URL works fine. The message you report is normal when you look at it in a browser. My copy of Eclipse has no problems talking to it. If yours does, I suspect a proxy configuration error in your copy of eclipse.
Also try it by turning off the firewall, and similar services. It worked for me!
If you can't access https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ simply
try to use http://
instead of https://
I spent whole my day figuring out this and found the following. And it works great now.
This is basically an issue with your gateway or proxy, If you are under proxy network, Please go to the network settings and set the proxy server settings(server, port , user name and password). If you are under direct gateway network, your firewall may be blocking the http get request from your eclipse.
I was also unable to read the repository. Even after the disabling most of the entries under Available Software Sites things were still not working.
I had no proxy to worry about and even disabling the firewall (which I do not recommended) as a last resort did not help.
Viewing the error log, from the dialog box which Eclipse displayed, there was mention of a cache directory under .eclipse in my home directory. I deleted the two cache directories I found and Eclipse was working again.
For my setup the two directories I deleted were:
.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_4.4.2_119745494_macosx_cocoa_x86_64/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/cache
.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_4.4.2_119745494_macosx_cocoa_x86_64/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository/cache
NB: My setup is Eclipse Luna 4.4.2 running on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
In my case, I discovered that the major issue why my eclipse won't connect to internet is my Internet Service Provider. I was only able to browse some websites but unable to browse other website. Fixing the issue with the ISP worked.
My issue was the Eclipse Marketplace client needed updating.
After trying Fredriks solution of
Go to Window -> Preferences -> Install/update: Available Software sites. Then remove and add the indigo site. Just remember to copy the adress so you can add it again.
The Marketplace client wouldn't load. But I could access it via a browser.
So, I went to the Help -> Eclipse Marketplace
it loaded fine
Clicked on Installed and found the Eclipse Marketplace Client and it had so i clicked it it updated and then when I did the standard update everything worked.
Sometimes, there will be firewalls and restrictions in the network preventing the plugin to get downloaded. We can try some other network. This actually resolved my issue.
I was facing the issue while adding team explorer plugin to eclipse from https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/team-explorer-everywhere.
Used team explorer plugin for ecplise for internal use of xamarin for mac.
Error:
unable to read repository at http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/team-explorer-everywhere
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.provisionexception unable to read repository
Unknown host exception
Goto https://github.com/microsoft/team-explorer-everywhere/releases
Download: TFSEclipsePlugin-UpdateSiteArchive-14.135.0.zip
From Eclipse->Help->Install new software.
From Add Repository window select Archive select the downloaded zip file.
Continue installation.
Also try if in the eclipse paths there is some duplicated
Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna
Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna/1234567...
Try both of them, one may work.
In my case, with 2 eclispes installed, in one of them the path
Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna
works, in the other one, i must select:
Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna/123456...
In both the internal browser can access to internet. Both are Luna (but one is RCM, the other one i don't remember).
No meu caso era o anti-vírus que estava bloqueando a conexão do eclipse, desativei o anti-víruse tudo funcionou o//.
Translation:
In my case it was the anti-virus that was blocking the connection from eclipse. I disabled the anti-virus and everything worked.
since I use SpringSource ToolSuite 2.7.1 and installed the latest Subclipse Plugin (1.6.x), this plugin ask's me every time I commit something into the repo for my password, regardless I've enabled the 'Save Password' checkbox. As I know, the Subclipse plugin doesn't store the credentials itself, instead use the authentication informations from the underlying SVN adapter so I try the following without any success:
1) delete ~/.subversion/auth
2) delete ~/.eclipse_keyring
After restarting STS the password dialog prompts again every time.
With Eclipse Indigo and the same Subclipse Plugin installed, this strange behavior doesn't happend, the passowrd is taken automatically as expected.
If I use svn from the command line, after I initially enter my passwords, it's used automatically and doesn't annoying me any longer.
Any sugggestions, why this doesn't work under SpringSource Toolsuite ?
Kind regards
Dominik
SOLVED: the reason was, that the STS.app do not has access to the MacOS X KeyChain for the SVN password. So therefor it has to ask again and again. The used Eclipse.app was added as trusted app for accessing the stored svn password. Strangely, I can't add STS.app to the list of trusted apps for the SVS password entry, but thats another question here. If I activate the 'access for every program' checkbox, STS.app is enable to read this password and don't ask any longer !
I don't have much experience with the subclipse plugin. I tried it a few times some years ago and it didn't go well for me. I then switched to subversive. I have not experienced this problem with the subversive plugin, and so perhaps you could try switching and seeing if this will help you.
I would try deleting or renaming the ~/.subversion folder. There are also settings in the config and servers file that can prevent password storage. You also do not mention what access method you are using ... for example passwords are not stored for svn+ssh://
It would also be relevant to know if you are using JavaHL or SVNKit. JavaHL is native Subversion so passwords are cached in ~/.subversion/auth. SVNKit caches passwords in the Eclipse keyring, but I believe it will read from the SVN password cache if it is already there -- or at least used to.
Finally, since it works with Eclipse but not STS (and there should be no reason why) maybe check permissions? Is STS running as a different user for some reason?
The settings for the secure storage are equal. But it seems, that these setting aren't used, the mentioned file doesn't exist. In the meantime I've installed the STS 2.7.2 update and a fresh Subclipse Plugin, but without success, the dialog popups again for every commit. After that, I create a new user, copy the whole STS 2.7.2 install dir including Maven, tc and the just installed Subclipsed plugin to a dir shared for all users. I have to fix the file permissions of the maven subdir due to lack of read permissions for the new user. I checked out a project from svn and modified it. After the initially question for username/password, this dialog don't popups any longer. It seems, that for this new user, things went fine. I switch back to the original user and start STS 2.7.2. from exactly the same place, the shared dir. But ... you predict it ... the dialog popups again and again and again .... It seems to be something wrong with any of my user settings, but which one ? I've delete ~/.subversion/auth and the whole ~/.subversion too. No way to avoid the constant question for the password for the given user. Mhm, strange, any further tips or suggestions ?
