mkdir error with push to launchpad

Have you set your user name with: "bzr launchpad-login username"?

This will use bzr+ssh instead of http which cannot do write operations (push)

Thank you. That solved the problem.

It would be nice if bzr's error message "http does not support mkdir()" would suggest that the user needs to "bzr launchpad-login username".

:-Dustin

Newer versions of bzr actually do this. Thanks for the suggestion.

If you have the same problem as Pascal Wolkotte had, what is not clear
from Martin's answer?

If you do not have the same problem, please file a seperate question.

I had this problem recently in 2.0.4

"bzr launchpad-login trr" was not enough to fix it.

I had to do a "bzr launchpad-login trr" and then also a "bzr bind lp:~trr/projectname/branchname" to fix it.

What had happened is that when I had previously checked out a branch from launchpad, it set up my local branch as being bound to an http address of launchpad instead of bzr+ssh.

So when I did launchpad-login it didn't change the bind address as that had already been set.

Anyway, hope this helps someone.

can anyone tell me what ths solution for following error,
I'm not able to revert using bzr

jsh.axelor, you need to tell Bazaar about your Launchpad login so that it will try to access Launchpad using bzr+ssh rather than over http (the latter does not support writes). You can tell Bazaar about your login using:

$ bzr lp-login <username>

I got the same error.
I tried bzr lp-login and bzr bind and neither of those worked.

I manually edited the file .bzr/branch/branch.conf and changed the push_location to use bzr+ssh instead of http and it worked.

Thanks Leo,

I am getting same problem of Transport operation not possible: http does not support mkdir()

I follow as following and is worked.

-- bzr launchpad-login <username>
-- open .bzr/branch/branch.conf and changed push_location url from http to bzr+ssh

bzr push --remember <bzr+ssh url> would have the same effect and doesn't require hand-editing.

Sometimes you may get this particular error if you branched using a different username (for example: root) then the one you're trying to push with etc.

Simply re-branch in a new/fresh directory using your own username (I usually mv <origdir> <origdir.old> then bzr branch)

Hmm, I wonder if #13 was the real cause for the issue I was seeing. I tried bzr push lp:parent, which did not work. However, bzr push lp:real_project_name worked fine. In any case, executing items in #13 may help as well if you're using different user names.
