git-update-server-info may be required,cannot clone and pull from a remote repository

["pradeep singh" <pradeep.rautela@gmail.com>]

hi All,

Please bear with me as i am completely new to git.
I tired setting up git repository on one of my Ubuntu 7.04 machines.

I followed the howto instruction for setting up a git repo over http
using the HOWTO  given in the /usr/share/doc/git-doc/howtos .

All went correct.
Now i am facing some trouble here.

1. I already have a source tree controlled by git on the same
machine.I want to make this as the master for the new public
repository. I created a bare git repo in it as per the howto. Now i
want to commit my local git repo to this public repository.I failed to
do so sadly :-/.Can anyone point me to the correct place or link?

2. Even when i did a (from another machine)
 $git-clone http://100.121.232/work.git work
 It says,
 Cannot get remote repository information.
 Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

 I ran git-update-server on the original machine, restarted even
apache2 but still same thing.

Can any one help me with this?
I ll appreciate some good documents or howtos on setting up git
repository painlessly.

BTW how am i supposed to use gitweb?
PS: I am not an expert sysadmin so i am completely unaware of apache2
tweaks and cgi pecularities.

Any help or pointers will be great.

Thank you
