Help Git unable to connect a socket (Connection refused)
Hello! While trying to create a kohaclone using git I encountered this error message: ... unable to connect a socket (Connection refused) after reading the documentation on the Git homepage it looks like my connection to Git is blocked by our firewall, also it was mentioned that it may be possible to clone a git project using the http protocol, which is considerably slower but works even behind firewalls I tried it changing the protocol on the URL and this is what I get : aslan@tek1:~$ git clone http://git.koha.org/home/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone Initialized empty Git repository in /home/aslan/kohaclone/.git/ Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there? Will this be possible on the koha git repository in the future? I may not be able to convince our ISP to open our firewall for Git :) Thanks! Mon

It is possible on the koha git repository today. The master branch in http://serene.ttllp.co.uk/~mjr/koha.git is an irregularly-updated http mirror of git.koha.org

You're using an ISP that controls your firewall and doesn't serve you and you're using googlemail - I think you need to reconsider your suppliers... Anyway, this sort of thing would be better on the koha-devel list. Most users shouldn't be running straight off git checkout.
