Question

Server

$ hg --version
    Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 2.0.2)

/usr/share/mercurial-server$ cat mercurial_server-1.1.egg-info
    Metadata-Version: 1.1
    Name: mercurial-server
    Version: 1.1

$ cat /etc/mercurial-server/remote-hgrc.d/check.rc 
    [ui]
    debug = true

    [hooks]
    commit.h1 = echo "executing commit USER:$REMOTE_USER"
    precommit.h2 = echo "executing precommit USER:$REMOTE_USER"
    pretxncommit.h3 = echo "executing pretxncommit USER:$REMOTE_USER"
    pretxnchangegroup.h4 = echo "executing pretxnchangegroup USER:$REMOTE_USER"

local machine

unity@unity:~/hgtst/hgadmin$ vi keys/users/user.m/user.m.pub 
unity@unity:~/hgtst/hgadmin$ hg commit -m "Test L"
unity@unity:~/hgtst/hgadmin$ hg push

when I push some changes from local machine to the mercurial-server via ssh pretxnchangegroup hook is executed but no other hook is getting executed.

This is to be expected. You don't commit at the remote server, you push changes to it. That's what changegroup is for, which you are using.

To me it seems like everything is working like it should.

Hope this helps, TW
