Git clone works with SSH but not HTTP

Question

I have a public repo on a server (apache), I can clone it with SSH from local with :

$ git clone user@myserver:public_html/repo

But the same repo can't be cloned with http :

$ git clone http://myserver/repo 
// fatal: repository 'http://myserver/repo' not found

With a browser I can see the content of my repo when entering (userdir mod is activated and set to be document root) :

http://myserver/repo

and the associated git folder with

http://myserver/repo/.git

I set the folder permission to 755.

What am I doing wrong ?

Answer 1

Try this:

git clone https://username@myserver.com/repo/.git

or the insecure version:

git clone https://username:password@myserver.com/repo/.git

Also make sure you are using the latest version of Git.
