I'm Git-ting the Blues

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Sorry, but as some of you already know. I'm working on my git skills and trying to move a practice DRUPAL site to a remote server using git. Unfortunately, things are not going well.

After many hours, I only get "Internal Server Error" messages when trying to engage my git cloned site.

I've tried gitting help on drupal.org - without much luck, so far. Here are detailed steps on what I've done.....

Any suggestions on what to try next?


NOTE: I set up a basic shared hosting account at http://www.arvixe.com/ specifically for this experiment. It came with SSH access. However, their instructions say that I should tell them if I want git installed. I found instructions and installed git myself.

Can that be the problem? Git seems to be working. :-)

Database name

Are you sure that the database name, as well as the username/password in your settings.php file, exactly match the database credentials on the remote site?

Permissions issue

Actually, as @dgorton pointed out, this is a file permissions issue. A "chmod -R 755" on your file system should get you up and running, but then you will need to adjust permissions accordingly.

How did you know?

Yes, you got it exactly! Brilliant.

This is the third time I've tried to reply to this topic. Two of the messages seem to have disappeared.
