Symptoms

When using HA Proxy in front of Bitbucket Server and trying to clone a Bitbucket Server Repository over HTTP the process fails with the following ERROR:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 $ git clone http://192.168.184.132/scm/myrepo.git Cloning into 'myrepo'... Username for 'http://192.168.184.132&#39;: <username> Password for 'http://&lt;username&gt;@192.168.184.132&#39;: remote: Counting objects: 3497, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1264/1264), done. remote: Total 3497 (delta 2150), reused 3473 (delta 2138) Receiving objects: 100% (3497/3497), 1.19 MiB, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (2150/2150), done. >>> error: RPC failed; result=18, HTTP code = 200 <<<

Cause

This happens because the HA Proxy is missing a configuration on the config file, the mode http :

1 2 3 listen http-in bind *:80 server localhost-bitbucket-http localhost:7990

Resolution

You must add the configuration mentioned above to your config file:

1 2 3 4 listen http-in bind *:80 mode http server localhost-bitbucket-http localhost:7990

After that restart the HA Proxy Daemon and try again.

If you want to use HAPRoxy for SSH as well, refer to the guide below:
