I set up a fossil repository on a shared hosting account I have. I created a perl script fossil.pl that points to a cloned repository that I put up on the webspace. I set all the correct permissions (755). When I go to fossil.pl I get the web ui. Everythings cool. However I'm having a problem with pushes and hoping someone could point me to a solution.

When I clone a repository it sets a new password for me (Toby) in the new cloned repository. If I push to this repository online without changing the password it works fine, I can push up changes from my local machine to the online repository. However once I change the password for Toby (to something more easily remembered by me) I get the following error.

 Bytes      Cards  Artifacts     Deltas Send:           
 1810          9          0          2
 1Server Error: not authorized to write
 fossil: server says: not authorized to
 write

Anyone know why this is happening? Anyone know how to fix it?
