Mercurial push, abort: authorization failed

For those with TortoiseHg pushing to a web server (another unauthorized user on another PC):

In TortoiseHg: File - Settings - (Either globally or just for the current repository - tabs) then the Server settings. Web Server

Push Requires SSL - No
Allow Push - *

This does the same thing through the UI as lukmdo's answer above (editing the hgrc file).

It is strange that you can run hg outgoing but not hg push since it is my understanding that they both authenticate in the same way.

Unfortunately I'm not a hgweb expert. Please mail to the Mercurial list ([email protected]) and/or come online in IRC (#mercurial on irc.freenode.net). There will be many more people to help you there. IRC is especially good since these things are much easier to debug interactively.

Problem turned out to be repo dir permissions. chown www-data solved it...

If anybody wants to make it run on local machine then adding this to server REPO/.hg/hgrc will do the work:

[web]
allow_push = *
push_ssl = false

as described at this site.
