Git clone SSH error

Cloning into 'wp-react'…
The requested repository either does not exist or you do not have access. If you believe this repository exists and you have access, make sure you're authenticated.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
### 🔐 1. **SSH key not added to Bitbucket**
You're using the `git@bitbucket.org:` (SSH) URL, which requires your **public SSH key to be added to Bitbucket**.
#### ✅ Fix:
Run these commands on the EC2 instance:
# Check if you already have an SSH key
ls ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
If the key exists, show and copy it:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
If not, generate one:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your-email@example.com"
Press Enter to accept defaults, then run:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Then:
1. Go to Bitbucket > **Your Avatar > Personal settings > SSH keys**
2. Click **Add Key**, paste the key, and save.

### 🌐 2. **Wrong Git remote URL or typo**
Double-check the repository exists and you have access:
git@bitbucket.org:tiw1988/wp-react.git
Try accessing the repository in your browser:
https://bitbucket.org/tiw1988/wp-react
If it 404s, it may be:
– The repo doesn't exist.
– You're logged in to the wrong Bitbucket account.
– Repo is private and you're not granted permission.
—
### 🧪 3. **Test SSH connection to Bitbucket**
Run this on your server:
ssh -T git@bitbucket.org
– If it says “authenticated via ssh key”, you're good.
– If not, it will tell you what’s wrong (no key, permission denied, etc.)

### 💡 Alternative: Use HTTPS instead of SSH
If you don’t want to set up SSH:
git clone https://username@bitbucket.org/tiw1988/wp-react.git
It will prompt you for your Bitbucket username and app password.
Let me know if you want to switch to HTTPS or fix SSH—I can walk you through either.
disable site
sudo a2dissite shareyourthoughts.conf
Then reload Apache to apply the change:
sudo systemctl reload apache2
### Full steps:
sudo a2dissite shareyourthoughts.conf
sudo systemctl reload apache2
This disables the site by removing the symlink from `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/`.
If you want to **re-enable it later**:
sudo a2ensite shareyourthoughts.conf
sudo systemctl reload apache2
—
### ✅ 1. **Disable the site (if not already)**
sudo a2dissite shareyourthoughts.conf
—
### 🗑️ 2. **Delete the config file**
sudo rm /etc/apache2/sites-available/shareyourthoughts.conf
—
### 🔄 3. **Reload Apache**
sudo systemctl reload apache2
—
### 📋 Optional: Verify it's removed
Check it no longer exists:
ls /etc/apache2/sites-available/
You’re done — the site is now fully deleted from Apache. Let me know if you also want to remove the actual site files from `/var/www/` or elsewhere.
—
### 🔍 View All Available Sites (in `sites-available/`)
ls /etc/apache2/sites-available/
These are all the site configurations that exist and *can be enabled*.
—
### ✅ View All Enabled Sites (in `sites-enabled/`)
ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
These are the site configs that are currently *active* and *served by Apache*.
—
### 📋 To See Active Site Details
You can list detailed symlinks with:
ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
It will show which file in `sites-available` each enabled config links to.

Let me know if you want to list all **active site URLs** or need help checking which ones are actually reachable in a browser.
