Hi

I only get this error downloading from a remote VM.
Another user has reported the error here:
https://roy.marples.name/archives/dhcpcd-discuss/0002955.html

Error is a sample error logged by nginx:
I use uwsgi to proxy the cgi to nginx.

*248 open() "/var/db/nginx/uwsgi_temp/6/00/0000000006" failed (13: Permission 
denied) while reading upstream, client: 2001:470:a085:999::80, server: 
roy.marples.name, request: "GET /cgit/dhcpcd.git/snapshot/master.tar.xz 
HTTP/1.1", upstream: "uwsgi://unix:/var/run/uwsgi/cgit.sock:", host: 
"roy.marples.name"

Otherwise this setup works fine.
The user uwsgi/cgit runs as owns the directory /var/db/nginx/uwsgi_temp.

Any pointers on how to fix this?

Thanks

Roy

nginx buffers large responses to disk by default. most likely your whole
uwsgi buffering is broken, but you only see it with snapshots because
nginx decides that the response cannot fit into memory. in particular, 
/var/db/nginx needs to be owned by the nginx user (nginx/http/www-data), 
not the uwsgi user.

this behavior can be adjusted with various tuning knobs:
https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_uwsgi_module.html. you may want
to set uwsgi_buffering off. however, this prevents some useful features,
including as I recall output compression. you can also try setting
something like location ^ /snapshot/ { uwsgi_buffering off; }. that
won't fix your temp_path issues though, which you will still have if
someone requests some other large file.

Thanks for the reply.
It turned out the process needed to access ALL the folders in the path and one 
was locked out.
Discovered thanks to this post:
https://serverfault.com/questions/872271/uwsgi-permission-denied-on-chdir-that-does-have-permissions-for-that-uid

Thanks

Roy
