Can't push to git

Hi, gang. I set up git as described at https://docs.webfaction.com/software/git.html and now have a repo named "foo".

I tried to push to it using:

git push http://username@domain/repos/foo.git

After asking for my password, I got the following error:

fatal: http://username@domain/repos/foo.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

Any ideas? (Besides running git update-server-info: I tried that. I got no feedback, and the problem persisted.)

Thanks,

--Tom

After lots of experimentation (including SSH attempts), I've gotten it working: I might have simply had the URL wrong. Thanks!

After some more experimentation: I think I might have used https instead of http.
