I'm getting - FATAL: unable to access .... Failed to connect to .... timed out

[Peter Borreggine]

I own my own server with 1and1 dedicated hosting and I've been able to access my server for the past year... now, I get

$ git push
fatal: unable to access 'http://username@12.34.567.89:7990/scm/somedir/somedir-2018.git/': Failed to connect to 12.34.567.89 port 7990: Timed out

I've restarted bitbucket and my server...

I have a port open for my personal machine at home with the IP address of my computer...

Thoughts?

Hi Peter

Failed to connect to 12.34.567.89 port 7990: Timed out

Above error suggests that you are not able to reach to Bitbucket server on port 7990. It could be that some of the firewall configuration is blocking the connection on port 7990.

Have you tried cloning the repository from the server where it is hosted using the hostname as localhost? This will help to verify whether you are running in to any connectivity issue.

HA!  YOU ARE 100% Correct!

It was late and I have a ISP that changes my IP every three months. That was it. when I changed the IP on my PORT access for my server, it worked just dandily!

Thank you Prasanth
