# Troubleshooting
This page contains some common issues you can run into and their solutions.
## SSH issues
If you are having issues with reaching your repositories over `ssh` while the
Gitea web front-end and `https` based git operations work fine, consider
looking at the following items.
```
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
```
This error signifies that the server rejected your log in attempt, check the
following things:
* On the client:
* Ensure the public and private ssh keys are added to the correct Gitea user.
* Make sure there are no issues in your remote url, ensure the name of the
git user (before the `@`) is spelled correctly.
* Ensure the public and private ssh keys are available and reachable on the
client machine.
* Try to `ssh git@myremote.example` to ensure that everything is set up
properly.
* On the server:
* Check the permissions of the `.ssh` directory in the home directory of your
`git` user.
* Verify that the correct public keys are added to `.ssh/authorized_keys`.
Try to run `Rewrite '.ssh/authorized_keys' file (for Gitea SSH keys)` on the
Gitea admin panel.
If you get a similar error without the public key part (shown below) then
authentication succeeded, but some other setting is preventing ssh from
reaching the correct repository.
```
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
```
In this case, look into the following settings:
* On the server:
* Make sure that your `git` user has a usable shell set. You can verify this
with `getent passwd git | cut -d: -f7`, `chsh` can be used to modify this.
* Ensure that the `gitea serv` command in `.ssh/authorized_keys` uses the
proper configuration file.
