Connection refused: exit status 128

I’ve deployed several sites (Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby) on Netlify using the ‘Deploy’ buttons found on staticgen.com. But now I get the same type of error message and the deploys fail constantly. Just tried to deploy new repos for Middleman and Jekyll. Here’s the latest error:

10:31:46 PM: Build ready to start

This happens on all three of my machines. I haven’t changed any GitHub settings, and I maintain the SSH key pairings. The GitHub repo gets created just fine, and I get notification of the Netlify Deploy Key pairing.

Do I need to control that port?

This is some kind of a bug in the templates or the deploy to netlify button functionality. I’ve asked the team to look into this next week.

You are not doing anything wrong!

Ok. Thank you!

I’ll keep a lookout.

An issue has been filed for this. We’ll update here once a fix is deployed. Thank you for your patience.

Has this issue been addressed? I am having similar issues deploying my Gitlab repo to Netlify.

Hi, @stelabouras, and welcome to our Netlify community site. :slight_smile:

The issue above has been resolved so I believe the issue in the deploy logs you posted is something different.

I do see the git clone succeeding for that site now when I checked. Did you resolve the issue on your own? If so, please feel free to share your solution here. If it isn’t resolved, please let us know.

Hey Luke!

It looks that the issue was resolved by renaming two long filenames in my repo: Deploy fails with "Failed during stage 'preparing repo': exit status 128" - #3 by stelabouras

Thanks for the explanation, @stelabouras.
