The requested URL returned error: 500 when trying to push

When trying to push my code into an empty repo, I get “Error: fatal: unable to access ‘http://user%40domain:***@web-server/Bonobo.Git.Server/Dashboard_FrontEnd.git/’: The requested URL returned error: 500” (user, domain and web-server used in place of redacted info).

I’ve checked all the possible GitHub open/closed issues, Google searches and other resources I can find for the past hour and have had no luck. This is not related to the 500.19 issue getting the IIS server error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I’m currently at a loss.

@jbdicarlo Thanks for persisting with this - sometimes Fiddler is tricky with local stuff.

An alternative is, from the command line, to run set GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 before you run the git command. Then you should get a load of trace, which will include the Authorization: Basic ...base64 string... header. There should be at least two connections - the first one will fail with a 401 Unauthorized, then the second one will have the Authorization: header in it.

If you have access to some means to decode a base64 string, then you should see if it makes sense. Don’t post it here, because even though it looks like nonsense it’s actually your unencrypted username/password
