Re: Debian, Git server, Nginx, Fcgiwrap, and git push can not create remote object directory

[David Mehler <dave.mehler@gmail.com>]

Hello,

"I'm assuming that you replaced 'git.domain.com' and 'domain.com'
in this config with real domain names, and that they are
functional and tested."

Yes, the real domains are functional and tested.

"All this is to set up a fastCGI-compliant server protected with
HTTP basic auth and accessed via a socket at
/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket.

Is it running? Is it configured for a socket there?

are username and password properly set up in .gitpasswd?"

Yes, the fcgiwrap is running and the socket is there. Yes, usernames
and passwords are also set up in .gitpasswd.

"And here's a different one to run PHP scripts. Is php8.2
installed, is the fpm module installed and running, is
/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock actually present?"

Yes, PHP 8.2 is installed and running, again that socket is also working.

Thanks.
Dave..
