“zsh: No match found” error

zsh attempts to expand any potential filename wildcard characters (such as ‘*’ and ‘?’) used in a command before executing it. This can lead to the confusing error “zsh: No match found” error. What makes this confusing is if you’re trying to execute a grep or something where you are trying to find or match something, since the error implies your search is not working, whereas the error is about the patterns zsh is attempting to expand in the command string, and not from executing the command itself.

Depending on what you’re trying to do, the easiest workaround is to wrap parameters in quotes or escape characters like ‘*’ and ‘?’.

e.g. for curl, wrap urls in quotes.

SSL certs upgraded, Docker images upgraded, ready to go!

I had to renew my SSL certs for this site, so while doing so I upgraded and addressed a few other issues.

First, apparently when I deployed the SSL certs last time I missed out some of the root certs in the chain. The vendor I used gives you each of the root certs individually and you need to manually concatenate them together yourself. More in another post on the steps I too to do this.

Since certs are part of my nginx Docker image, I rebuilt my image upgrading everything to latest versions. Since it was a also a couple of years since I last did this, I also had to go back through my posts here to work out the steps I took to deploy last time. I’ll post another update on the steps I took for this also later.

nginx and php-fpm configuration errors

Moving an nginx install from Ubuntu 14.04 to 18.04 and upgrading to more recent versions of nginx, php, php-fpm, I ran into this error in my nginx config:

2020/02/28 04:45:47 [crit] 11784#11784: *1 connect() to unix:/var/run/php7.2-fpm.sock failed (2: No such file or directory) while connecting to upstream, client: 192.168.x.x, server: , request: "GET /index.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php7.2-fpm.sock:", host: "10.x.x.x"

The “No such file or directory” error is talking about the nginx connection to the php7.2-fpm.sock, rather than the file the GET request is for.

On closer look at where the .sock file is located, this was a subtle error to find and fix, but the fix was simple as I was pointing to the wrong path.

In my nginx default config, I had this line (migrating from a config for an older nginx and pphp-fpm version, this is where it was before):

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php7.2-fpm.sock;

… I was missing a /php/ dir in the path, so changing to the correct path was the fix:

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
