Problem:

19/06/10 Update: More evidence problem is server-side. Receiving this error on Windows 7 command line (see below for full traceback):

URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host>
    abort: error: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

When attempting to push a changeset that contains 6 large files (.exe, .dmg, etc) to my remote server my client (MacHG) is reporting the error:

"Error During Push. Mercurial reported error number 255: abort: HTTP Error 404: Not Found"

What does the error even mean?! The only thing unique (that I can tell) about this commit is the size, type, and filenames of the files. How can I determine which exact file within the changeset is failing? How can I delete the corrupt changeset from the repository? In a different post, someone reported using "mq" extensions to effectively delete an erroneous changeset from the history within a repository, but mq looks overly complicated for what I'm trying to solve.

Background:

I can push and pull the following: source files, directories, .class files and a .jar file to and from the server, using both MacHG and toirtoise HG.

I successfully committed to my local repository the addition for the first time the 6 large .exe, .dmg etc installer files (about 130Mb total).

In the following commit to my local repository, I removed ("untracked" / forget) the 6 files causing the problem, however the previous (failing) changeset is still queued to be pushed to the server (i.e. my local host is trying to push the "add" and then the "remove" to the remote server - and keep aligned with the "keep everything in history" philosophy of the source control system).

I can commit .txt .java files etc using TortoiseHG from Windows PCs. I haven't actually testing committing or pushing the same large files using TortoiseHG.

Please help!

Setup:

Client applications = MacHG v0.9.7 (SCM 1.5.4), and TortoiseHG v1.0.4 (SCM 1.5.4)

Server = HTTPS, IIS7.5, Mercurial 1.5.4, Python 2.6.5, setup using these instructions:

http://www.jeremyskinner.co.uk/mercurial-on-iis7/

In IIS7.5 the CGI handler is configured to handle ALL verbs (not just GET, POST and HEAD).

My hgweb.cgi file on the server is as follows:

#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# An example hgweb CGI script, edit as necessary

# Path to repo or hgweb config to serve (see 'hg help hgweb')
#config = "/path/to/repo/or/config"

# Uncomment and adjust if Mercurial is not installed system-wide:
#import sys; sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/python/lib")

# Uncomment to send python tracebacks to the browser if an error occurs:
#import cgitb; cgitb.enable()

from mercurial import demandimport; demandimport.enable()
from mercurial.hgweb import hgweb, wsgicgi
application = hgweb('C:\inetpub\wwwroot\hg\hgweb.config')
wsgicgi.launch(application)

My hgweb.config file on the server is as follows:

[collections]
C:\Mercurial Repositories = C:\Mercurial Repositories

[web]
baseurl = /hg
allow_push = usernamea
allow_push = usernameb

Output from the command line from my macbook (both Mercurial and MacHG installed) using -v and --trackback flags:

It is a keep-alive issue? Is IIS7.5 at fault? Python 2.6.5 at fault?

Went through the same pain points...

With the default settings on the IIS server, you will not be able to push large repositories to the server, as IIS has a default maximum request length of only 4 MB, and a timeout for CGI scripts of 15 min, making it impossible to upload large files. To enable the uploading of large files (and this is not easy to find on the web…), do the following:
1. In IIS Manager, click on the web site node, and click the Limits… link.
2. Then specify a connection time-out sufficiently large (I chose 1 hour here, or 3600 seconds)
3. Next, click the node containing hg (as per the installation procedure), then double-click CGI
4. Specify a sufficiently-long time out for CGI scripts (e.g., 10 hours)

Now, edit C:\inetpub\wwwroot\hg\web.config, so that it has a new <security> section under <system.webserver>, and a <httpRuntime> specification under <system.web>:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
[…]
    <security>
         <requestFiltering>
           <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength ="2147482624" />
      </requestFiltering>
    </security>
  </system.webServer>
  <system.web>
    <httpRuntime
      executionTimeout="540000" maxRequestLength="2097151"/>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

This specifies an http timeout of a bit more than 6 days, and a maximum upload limit of about 2 GB.

Had the same issue using IIS 7 as server. Tried the solution above which resolved the error 255 issue, but still got Errorno 10054 with larger files. I then increased the Connection Time-out in IIS which worked.

To change: Web Site -> Manage Web Site -> Advanced Settings -> Connection Limits -> Connection Time-out. The default is 2 minutes. Changed mine to 20 minutes and it worked.

Not sure why this works but seems that Mercurial makes a connection to the server, takes a while to process larger files, then only sends a request. By that time IIS has disconnected the client.

Ok, your solution did it!
I already had a requestLimits tag like this:
<requestLimits maxUrl="16384" maxQueryString="65536" />
so I added maxAllowedContentLength ="524288000" to it like this:
<requestLimits maxUrl="16384" maxQueryString="65536" maxAllowedContentLength ="524288000" />
And that did it!

I'm just posting this for anyone else coming into this thread from a search.

There's currently an issue using the largefiles extension in the mercurial python module when hosted via IIS. See this post if you're encountering issues pushing large changesets (or large files) to IIS via TortoiseHg.

The problem ultimlately turns out to be a bug in SSL processing introduced Python 2.7.3 (probably explaining why there are so many unresolved posts of people looking for problems with Mercurial). Rolling back to Python 2.7.2 let me get a little further ahead (blocked at 30Mb pushes instead of 15Mb), but to properly solve the problem I had to install the IISCrypto utility to completely disable transfers over SSLv2.
