I have a local HG repo for my client work. I've configured the HG server before on earlier versions of OS X without any issues, but on Yosemite I am stuck. I used MacPorts' mercurial package, configured apache with a self-signed SSL cert, and am mostly good to go... hgweb works fine, and I can pull and do other commands.

However I cannot push:

$ hg push --debug --traceback -v

The username and password are correct... they work on the hgweb interface, and they even worked in the output above during earlier steps (line 8). I've also checked the permissions of the repository a bunch of times... the _www user has full access:

$ ls -al /var/repos/website.com
total 0
drwxrwxr-x   3 _www  staff  102 Oct 19 23:34 .
drwxrwxr-x  11 _www  staff  374 Oct 27 02:09 ..
drwxrwxr-x  10 _www  staff  340 Oct 19 23:34 .hg

HG version: 3.1.2, OSX Version: 10.10, Apache version: 2.4.9

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated -- thanks in advance!

I found the answer. Not sure why this fixes it, but all I had to do was create an hgrc file in the .hg directory of the repository in question (not the local cloned dir), and add:

[web]
allow_push = *

In case anyone finds this answer while trying to debug a different part of the setup, here is a tutorial for the whole setup of Mercurial on Yosemite.
