push via https apache2

[J.S. van Bethlehem]

Remember that SSH access has _nothing_ to do with https-access; ssh has
to do with shell-access, https has to do with your webserver, which is
very likely Apache. As Kevin Maris noted: you need a certificate to
allow the https protocol. But since you noted that you can browse the
repository, that is very likely not the problem.

Anyway: since you can browse the repository and since you can pull, my
best guess is that there is some issue with file permissions on a
system-level. Of course I'm only guessing since the 500-code you get is
the worst you can get; it tells you basically absolutely nothing.

I do remember encountering this once myself though. Then the problem was
that the glibc-library on the webserver was way older than the one that
mercurial needs. I don't know anything about the internals of mercurial,
so maybe someone knows of some library or system-call that is only used
when pushing (ie writing) to a repository instead of only reading?
