I am using SSH to push to the central mercurial repository on the remote server.

I put in a hook so the remote repo will update:

[hooks]
changegroup = hg update >&2

when I try to push to the remote repo, the push succeeds, but I get this output:

remote: added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files
remote: abort: Permission denied: /var/www/sites/businesslicenses/.hgignore
remote: warning: changegroup hook exited with status 255

any ideas for me?? thanks!

    If you use SSH and don’t setup a dedicated user account on your server, then you will need to ensure that:

    • the necessary users are in a common group and
    • newly created files belong to that group
    • newly created files are group writable

    See “The filesystem method” in the wiki for more information. Generally, I find that it’s easier to user a dedicated user on the server and then grant people access by adding SSH public keys to .ssh/authorized_keys.
