fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights

Question

I am trying to clone repository from remote git. I have shared hosting and I have created new repository in my cPanel.

I have created new pair of ssh keys using ssh-keygen Then imported key in cpanel from "SSH Access".

To connect from local machine, I have added following commands on git bash

$ eval ssh-agent

Agent pid 1286

$ ssh-add id_rsa_prasad_local

Identity added: id_rsa_prasad_local (PG@DESKTOP-HAFRU7M)

$ git clone ssh://hostcd1m@mywebsitename.com/home/hostcd1m/test

then it is showing error as below

Cloning into 'test'...

ssh: connect to host mywebsitename.com port 22: Connection timed out fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

Am I missing anything ?

Answer 1

Domain name was not pointed to server's host name. so if I try to clone with server hostname , I able to clone it successfully.

example : git clone ssh://hostcd1m@ServerHostName.Net/home/hostcd1m/test

so I pointed my domain name 'mywebsite.com' to server hostname 'ServerHostName.Net'.
