# Troubleshooting
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This page contains some common issues you can run into and their solutions.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## SSH issues
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you are having issues with reaching your repositories over `ssh` while the
 | 
						|
Gitea web front-end and `https` based git operations work fine, consider
 | 
						|
looking at the following items.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
Permission denied (publickey).
 | 
						|
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
 | 
						|
and the repository exists.
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This error signifies that the server rejected your log in attempt, check the
 | 
						|
following things:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* On the client:
 | 
						|
  * Ensure the public and private ssh keys are added to the correct Gitea user.
 | 
						|
  * Make sure there are no issues in your remote url, ensure the name of the
 | 
						|
    git user (before the `@`) is spelled correctly.
 | 
						|
  * Ensure the public and private ssh keys are available and reachable on the
 | 
						|
    client machine.
 | 
						|
  * Try to `ssh git@myremote.example` to ensure that everything is set up
 | 
						|
    properly.
 | 
						|
* On the server:
 | 
						|
  * Check the permissions of the `.ssh` directory in the home directory of your
 | 
						|
    `git` user.
 | 
						|
  * Verify that the correct public keys are added to `.ssh/authorized_keys`.
 | 
						|
    Try to run `Rewrite '.ssh/authorized_keys' file (for Gitea SSH keys)` on the
 | 
						|
    Gitea admin panel.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you get a similar error without the public key part (shown below) then
 | 
						|
authentication succeeded, but some other setting is preventing ssh from
 | 
						|
reaching the correct repository.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
 | 
						|
and the repository exists.
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In this case, look into the following settings:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* On the server:
 | 
						|
  * Make sure that your `git` user has a usable shell set. You can verify this
 | 
						|
    with `getent passwd git | cut -d: -f7`, `chsh` can be used to modify this.
 | 
						|
  * Ensure that the `gitea serv` command in `.ssh/authorized_keys` uses the
 | 
						|
    proper configuration file.
