I want to test the software on a public repository of Orcomp (a company profile):

https://github.com/Orcomp/Orc.NuGetExplorer

I have logged in with my personal GitHub account. The repository is visible in the list, but when I try to add it, this is what I get:

Error adding webhook to GitHub repository: Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found)

When I select one of my own (directly linked to my personal account), it works.

   Can you fork the repository and use your fork? Then once you've got it set up, you can suggest that they add your appveyor configuration via a pull request.

   Hi Geert,

   Re-authorize AppVeyor for "public and private repositories". I'm still trying to reproduce this issue with my own account (though I'm able to add project and webhook into AppVeyor organization repository), but usually re-authorization helps.

   Another approach would be to make AppVeyor skipping webhook creation error when adding public organization's repository you don't have admin access to.

   Hi

   I have a similar situation, I'd like to use AppVeyor with HdrHistogram, which I'm a Commiter, but not owner of (https://github.com/orgs/HdrHistogram/teams).

   I can see it as an option when I add a new Project, but then I get the error "Error adding webhook to GitHub repository: Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found)."

   Is there anything I can do? I don't want to run a private fork of HdrHistorgram just for this.

   The only option I see here is to make AppVeyor silently skipping webhook setup if you don't have required permissions.

   OK, it's been changed and update deployed - it should silently skip webhook creation if no required permissions.

   Thanks for doing that, it's working now.
