Mercurial hg no suitable response from remote hg error

mercurial, ssh, tortoisehg

Solution

I think the problem was that my Python version was older than the one I needed. I was trying to set it up with Python 2.6. I followed another tutorial with Python 2.7 and latest Mercurial version (2.8.1)

Anyone with Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7+ should follow this tutorial.

Problem

Trying setup mercurial SVM on my windows server (2008 RC) from last couple of hours. I am stuck on this error when I try to clone my repo from the client machine. ``` Error: no suitable response from remote hg ``` The server that I am running has SSH access (SSH running on port 1667). I also have a remote access to it. I tried to clone using command as well as with the help of tortoisehg gui client. Commands I tried is: ``` hg clone ssh://myuser@myremoteip:1667//D:/Mercurial Projects/testproj E:\Mercurial\testproj-clone hg clone --remotecmd D:/Program Files/TortoiseHg/hg --verbose -- ssh://myuser@myremoteip:1667//D:/Mercurial Projects/testproj E:\Mercurial\testproj-clone ``` but no success so far. I also added following line in global setting at client side to give remote path of hg on server but no luck: ``` [ui] remotecmd = D:/Program Files/TortoiseHg/hg ``` Please help me...
