gitweb 404 Projects Not found

gitweb working for years and suddenly says 404 Projects Not Found

disable selinux

# echo 0 > /selinux/enforce

nope ...

look around ...
nope ...

read Perl and carp print debug ...
nope ...

create a projects list

# cd /data/software/git
# ./create_project_list.sh > projects.list

with the following script

# cat create_project_list.sh 
#!/bin/sh

export GITWEB_CONFIG="gitweb_make_index.perl"
export GATEWAY_INTERFACE="CGI/1.1"
export HTTP_ACCEPT="*/*"
export REQUEST_METHOD="GET"
export QUERY_STRING="a=project_index"

#perl -- /var/www/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
perl -- /usr/share/gitweb/index.cgi

and adjust /etc/gitweb.conf

# grep projects.list /etc/gitweb.conf 
#$projects_list = $projectroot;
$projects_list = "/data/software/git/projects.list";

nope ...

check out what was wrong

# ls -l / |grep data
drwx------  10 root  root   4096 Mar 27 19:33 data

I am silly for doing it at the first place ( can see where in history ) and for complicating the debugging

# chmod 755 /data

it works.

Classic overcomplication.
