I've searched through the apache config and can find no differences,
other than on 42.3 user wwwrun has group www, whereas on 15.0 it has
group wwwrun and is also a member of www. /export/git has group www.
I've tried changing it to wwwrun. That changes the error to:
"gitweb.cgi: Can't cd to /export/git: Permission denied:
/usr/share/gitweb/gitweb.cgi"
I'm loading exactly the same set of apache modules, other than one
uses php5 and the other php7 (gitweb.cgi is written in perl).
Leap 15.0 includes apparmor, but I see no messages from it. I've tried
stopping apparmor to no effect.
Can anyone suggest a way to track down the cause?
It was caused by apparmor. I needed to edit the file
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.share.git-web.gitweb.cgi. There were two lines
/srv/git/ r,
/srv/git/** r,
I needed to edit those to match my repo root.
I realise this isn't really an apache issue, but having asked the
question, I thought it worth posting the fix in case someone with the
same problem happens across my question.
