Can’t run fcgiwrap and set permissions when installing bugzilla on ubuntu + nginx

Question

I'm trying to install bugzilla on ubuntu + nginx and because I'm not a Linux expert, I encountered a problem at a certain stage. I did everything according to the instructions, and when I try to access the site I get the following error in error.log:

connect() to unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.sock failed (2: No such file or directory) while connecting to upstream, client: ..., server: ..., request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.sock:", host: "..." 

I found how to launch this socket, I launch it with the following command:

fcgiwrap -s unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.sock 

the socket is started:

# ls -la /run/fcgi* srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jun 10 12:08 /run/fcgiwrap.sock srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Jun 9 19:20 /run/fcgiwrap.socket 

but when I trying to open the website I get 502 error, and the error in error.log:

connect() to unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.sock failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream, client: ... , server: ..., request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.sock:", host: "..." 

and the second problem, after rebooting the server /var/run/fcgiwrap.sock stops working, how can I prevent it from unloading after rebooting the system?

Answer 1

If you have installed fcgiwrap via apt on Ubuntu, the correct way to start it is with included systemd unit:

sudo systemctl enable fcgiwrap sudo systemctl start fcgiwrap sudo systemctl status fcgiwrap 

This gurantees that fcgiwrap is started on boot with the proper UID/GID and socket ownership.

Answer 2

Thanks for answers! I found a solution on how to start a socket to make the site work:

spawn-fcgi -s /var/run/fcgiwrap.sock -M 755 -u www-data -g www-data /usr/sbin/fcgiwrap 

The only thing left. I can't figure out how to automatically start a socket after a "sudo restart". After restarting the system I have to start it again.
