Trouble using gitweb with nginx
- by Rayne
I have a git repository in a directory inside of /home/raynes/pubgit/. I'm trying to use gitweb to provide a web interface to it. I use nginx as my web server for everything else, so I don't really want to have to use another just for this.
I'm mostly following this guide: http://michalbugno.pl/en/blog/gitweb-nginx, which is the only guide I can find via google and is really recent. fcgiwrap apparently isn't in Lucid Lynx's repositories, so I installed it manually. I spawn instances via spawn-fcgi:
spawn-fcgi -f /usr/local/sbin/fcgiwrap -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9001
That's all good. My /etc/gitweb.conf is as follows:
# path to git projects (<project>.git)
#$projectroot = "/home/raynes/pubgit";
$my_uri = "http://mc.raynes.me";
$home_link = "http://mc.raynes.me/";
# directory to use for temp files
$git_temp = "/tmp";
# target of the home link on top of all pages
#$home_link = $my_uri || "/";
# html text to include at home page
$home_text = "indextext.html";
# file with project list; by default, simply scan the projectroot dir.
$projects_list = $projectroot;
# stylesheet to use
$stylesheet = "/gitweb/gitweb.css";
# logo to use
$logo = "/gitweb/git-logo.png";
# the 'favicon'
$favicon = "/gitweb/git-favicon.png";
And my nginx server configuration is this:
server {
listen 80;
server_name mc.raynes.me;
location / {
root /usr/share/gitweb;
if (!-f $request_filename) {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9001;
}
fastcgi_index index.cgi;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
The only difference here is that I've set fastcgi_pass to 127.0.0.1:9001. When I go to http://mc.raynes.me I'm greeted with a page that simply says "403" and nothing else. I have not the slightest clue what I did wrong.
Any ideas?
