Maybe you should run git-update-server-info in the repository on the
server?

Maybe you should run git-update-server-info in the repository on the
server?

By the way, try enabling the post-update hook -- it runs
update-server-info for you automatically after pushing to your server
(make the script $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-update executable)

Is the git daemon running on your server? You need to configure inetd or
git-daemon yourself, that is not done automatically for you.
