HG clone - abort : HTTP Error 403: Forbidden/empty destination path not valid

Basically, I'm trying to serve (hg serve) my local repository and clone the same.

When I gave "hg clone http://localhost:8000/" (the served URL), I got "abort: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden"

When I did "unset http_proxy", tried again, abort: empty destination path is not valid popped up!

Why does it happen? Are there any prerequisites to be done in hgrc or any config files before the cloning?

hg clone http://localhost:8000/ .

Specifying the destination viz.current working directory(.) solved it.

There's no prior setup required:

(df)Ry4ans-MacBook-Air:www ry4an$ cd /tmp
(df)Ry4ans-MacBook-Air:tmp ry4an$ hg init janani ; cd janani ; hg serve &
[1] 22358
(df)Ry4ans-MacBook-Air:janani ry4an$ listening at http://Ry4ans-MacBook-Air.local:8000/ (bound to *:8000)

(df)Ry4ans-MacBook-Air:janani ry4an$ cd ..
(df)Ry4ans-MacBook-Air:tmp ry4an$ hg clone http://localhost:8000/ janani-clone

Could it be that you already have a different server listening on port 8000, so your hg serve isn't getting the connections?
