Question

We are a small company (its a Microsoft shop) we are currently using subversion with VisualSVN installed (pretty easy to setup btw)
I am currently evaluating Mercurial because of branching nightmare in svn.

So first i followed
http://www.firegarden.com/software/hosting-mercurial-repo-iis7-windows-server-2008r2-x64-python-isapi-cgi
with latest mercurial source code 1.9.2 and python 2.7 got the below error

Failed to import callback module 'hgwebdir_wsgi'
The specified module could not be found.

so i scratched that and then i followed this
http://www.jeremyskinner.co.uk/mercurial-on-iis7/ and it worked until i reached the step
Enabling SSL which is where the problem is. i even setup ssl certs using OpenSSL
http://www.dylanbeattie.net/docs/openssl_iis_ssl_howto.html
still nothing.
this is the error i get

URLError: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
[command returned code 255...]

Server side i have this
hgweb.config

[collections]
C:\repository\hg = C:/repository/hg

[web]
#push_ssl = false
allow_push = *
baseurl = /hg
cacerts =

web.config

client side hgrc

[paths]
default = https://webtest/hg/test/

[hostfingerprints]
webtest = 50:de:a4:d9:72:59:68:fd:91 ...

EDIT
I tried to install MacHg on my macbook to test. i used http://machghelp.jasonfharris.com/kb/connections/how-do-i-add-a-server-certificate-or-fingerprint-for-https as walkthrough and it WORKS!! so this eliminates server(i.e.server can push & pull from both http & https) so now i am sure its my windows/TortoiseHg which has problem. (but following these steps for tortoiseHg gives me nothing 🙁 )

EDIT2
One more finding… i can’t even clone using https, it only works for http. I tried to clone one of codeplex projects using https and that works!…This is really frustrating

Am i missing something? any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

It worked when i used Older version i.e. Mercurial 1.8.4. So i stopped investigating any further
