Troubleshooting

Fx for “The requested URL returned error” and “401 Unauthorized while accessing” with git on CentOS 6

by ,


We have by far the largest RPM repository with NGINX module packages and VMODs for Varnish. If you want to install NGINX, Varnish, and lots of useful performance/security software with smooth yum upgrades for production use, this is the repository for you.
Active subscription is required.

Quick fix for when you get the following error during git push:

“The requested URL returned error: 401 Unauthorized while accessing” “fatal: HTTP request failed”

If you know that you have proper credentials for the repository in question, read further for solution.

Solution. Upgrade git on CentOS 6

First, confirm that you have specific version of git:

git --version
git version 1.7.1

Now, upgrade git on Centos 6 to more recent version:

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install https://centos6.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
sudo yum install yum-plugin-replace
sudo yum replace git --replace-with git2u

Now you have a more recent git version which will likely have no error mentioned above.
