I've set up a functioning git repo, and then created a website record to be able to browse the repo. I'm having a problem similar to what's described in this post: http://community.webfaction.com/questions/3019/git-http-error-500 I.e., I get a 500 error when I try to visit the website URL. The difference is that the log entry reads:: Instead of citing git.cgi as the source of the problem. I tried a solution similar to what's described in the above post, but with no luck. I should add that I had the same set up working with no trouble, but that our account was recently moved from Web65 to Web300, and when I went to replicate the previous setup, I ran into this problem. Any ideas? asked 24 Nov '11, 21:22 mdorn |

solution as recomended by Ryan S from webfaction support, this worked for me: The problem appears to be that you have a relatively old version of our "git" application installed. At one point in time, we did not have git installed globally on our servers. The git installer would also compile a local git binary into your home directory, and this is located here: /home/username/webapps/git/bin/git However, since you have moved from one operating system to another, compiled binaries won't work (they can't find the exactly-matching shared libraries they need). Typically you would have to recompile your binary software to fix this. However, we have since included git system-wide, at /usr/bin/git, and we have also updated our git installers to use it. Therefore, you should be able to fix this by doing the following: (1) copy the repos directory (/home/username/webapps/git/bin/repos) somewhere safe mkdir $HOME/git_backup cp -r $HOME/webapps/git $HOME/git_backup/ (2) delete your "git" application from the control panel (3) install a new "git" application (4) copy the repos back cp -r $HOME/git_backup/git/repos/* $HOME/webapps/git/repos/ Ryan S.

Since the error is similar to the referenced question, but refers to
gitweb.cgiinstead ofgit.cgi, have you tried:
