I'm having trouble to get git-http-backend working using an nginx server on my Ubuntu 13.04 machine. Tried it with Debian 7 before but with similar results. Basically I followed http://weininger.net/configuration-of-nginx-for-gitweb-and-git-http-backend/ but ignored anything concerning gitweb.
I did the following:
Installed nginx, git, git-core and fcgiwrap using:
apt-get install git git-core nginx fcgiwrap Created a bare repo at /var/git/test.git and chowned it to www-data:
mkdir -p /var/git/test.git cd /var/git/test.git git init --bare git update-server-info chown -R www-data:www-data /var/git Replaced /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default with
server { listen 80; server_name localhost; location / { root /var/git; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $uri; fastcgi_param GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /var/git; fastcgi_param GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL ""; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; } } When doing
GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git clone http://localhost/test.git it prints:
Klone nach 'test'... * Couldn't find host localhost in the .netrc file; using defaults * About to connect() to localhost port 80 (#0) * Trying 127.0.0.1... * Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0) > GET /test.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: git/1.8.1.2 Host: localhost Accept: */* Accept-Encoding: gzip Pragma: no-cache * The requested URL returned error: 500 Internal Server Error * Closing connection 0 error: The requested URL returned error: 500 Internal Server Error while accessing http://localhost/test.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack fatal: HTTP request failed The /var/log/nginx/error.log does not contain any entries for this request. I am not sure if git-http-backend writes a logfile but could not find one.
Do you have any idea what is wrong with this setup? Do you know a way to get more information / logging concerning the 500 error?
