I'm trying to install Gitweb on my Nginx server. Everything seems to be configured correctly, but I seem to be getting the following error in the gitweb.log:
`2015/06/08 08:42:05 [crit] 29135#0: *5 connect() to unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream, client: 83.36.85.6, server: git.mydomain.co.uk, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket:", host: "git.mydomain.co.uk"`
I've checked the owner/permissions and all seems to be fine.
srwxr-xr-x 1 www-data www-data 0 Jun 8 08:44 /var/run/fcgiwrap.socket
The output of ps aux | grep nginx
is:
root 30283 0.0 0.0 90552 1296 ? Ss 08:59 0:00 nginx: master process /usr/sbin/nginx -g daemon on; master_process on;

root 30528 0.0 0.0 11980 928 pts/0 R+ 09:03 0:00 grep --color=auto nginx
Any ideas what the problem could be?
The socket has to be readable and writable by both client and server. Under the assumption that the server is running as
www-data
and the client is running asforge
with groupforge
, the following steps should fix the issue.Change the group ownership of the socket to the group of user
forge
.Change the group permission to allow write for group
forge
.The socket will now be readable and writable by both server and client.
