I am having problem with git cloning through HTTPS. It gives my this error, The requested URL returned error: 500. I can clone through ssh find. I did copy most of David Thompson config on nginx, gitolite, certbot and cgit. CGIT seem to be working fine. It allows me to browse in each repository. I check and nginx is part of the git group in the /etc/group. If someone have any suggesting or can look at my config. Thank You. > **[tatd-config.scm « tatd « lstewart - dotfiles - \[no description\]](https://git.tatd.dev/dotfiles/tree/lstewart/tatd/tatd-config.scm)** ---

The link is done, and I am in the process of redoing my git repositories. I was able to solve the HTTPS clone on my repositories. Guix and gitolite change the user and group name on the repositories. I did some changes. I created git home folder and change all the repositories owner and group to git. The last thing was having fcgiwrap service to use the user git else well.
