Git Remote: Error: fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: Unab

I am trying to configure a git server on an Amazon EC2 instance and I keep getting this error.

Everything is all set up properly - I have my ssh keys valid and I can log into the remote server however git spews out this error all the time.

Any suggestions?

Yes; his own issue was with ssh access - my server is fine and I can ssh into it. – AbdulFattah Popoola Dec 01 '12 at 04:24
Ok. Looks like the title has been cut off... Can you post the full message? – Benjamin Powers Dec 01 '12 at 04:26

Okay, you can ssh into it, but what happens when you run `ssh git-receive-pack `? Might you get an error message that starts with the word "Please"...? – Edward Thomson Dec 01 '12 at 05:17
