Setting up gitolite: FATAL: R any gitolite-admin gitolite denied by fallthru

I'ved tried what I've found here:

This question

And this question

I've generated my ssh keys with:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f gitolite

I then copy them to gitolite server

scp gitolite.pub [email protected]:gitolite.pub

After that I setup gitolite on my server with no apparent errors

gitolite setup -pk gitolite.pub

The only key in my .gitolite/keydir/ is gitolite.pub. The only one listed in .ssh/authorized_keys is my gitolite.pub.

On my client side I setup a ssh config file as such

host gitolite
    user git
    hostname my-server.com
    identityfile ~/.ssh/gitolite

I then run 

git clone gitolite:gitolite-admin.git

which gives me:

Cloning into 'gitolite-admin'...
FATAL: R any gitolite-admin gitolite DENIED by fallthru
(or you mis-spelled the reponame)
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access right and the repository exists.

What should I try next to fix this issue?

EDIT:

IF it helps at all I can clone testing.git just fine this way.

I fixed this by completely removing gitolite from my server and reinstaling it. It's good to note that when you generate your keys they need to be the name of the user that you are currently logged in as on your client workstation.
