How to install cGit on Nginx (Ubuntu server)

Step-by-step installtion of cGit on nginx without funky rewrite rules.

Pre-requisites

This is for

sudo aptitude install build-essential
                      autoconf
                      automake
                      libtool
                      libfcgi-dev
                      spawn-fcgi
                      fcgiwrap

Now lets install fcgiwrap. Alternatively, you can

git clone https://github.com/gnosek/fcgiwrap.git
cd fcgiwrap/
autoreconf -i
./configure
make
sudo make install
cp fcgiwrap /usr/bin/.

Then, I pasted this perl script into spawn-fcgi ::

cat > /usr/bin/spawn-fcgi

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict; use warnings FATAL => qw( all );

use IO::Socket::UNIX;

my $bin_path = '/usr/bin/fcgiwrap'; my $socket_path = $ARGV[0] || '/tmp/cgi.sock'; my $num_children = $ARGV[1] || 1;

close STDIN;

unlink $socket_path; my $socket = IO::Socket::UNIX->new(

Local => $socket_path, Listen => 100,

);

die "Cannot create socket at $socket_path: $!n" unless $socket;

for (1 .. $num_children) {

my $pid = fork; die "Cannot fork: $!" unless defined $pid; next if $pid;

exec $bin_path; die "Failed to exec $bin_path: $!n";

}
