What else do i have to do after the Gitlab Omnibus installation?


im trying to get Gitlab to work, but obviously im missing something in the process of installation. I followed this installation guide: https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/#ubuntu1404

to install it on my ubuntu 14.04 server.

Are there any further steps i have to take before it works? Because when i go to git.codefighters.org it shows the apache index.html page.

I changed the external_url part in the gitlab.rb file, but i notices that nearly all other lines in that file are commented out.

Thanks to everyone who can help me to solve this!


Solution

  • Alright, so what i did now is just a complete reinstall of gitlab (which did not really solve the problem). Because now, even after configuring apache like they said here: http://doc.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/nginx.html#using-a-non-bundled-web-server On git.codefighters.org, there is just the plesk default page showing up. I guess im going to open another thread for that.

    This is what i did for the complete re-install of gitlab:

    Complete uninstall of gitlab

    sudo gitlab-ctl uninstall sudo apt-get remove gitlab-ce sudo apt-get purge gitlab-ce

    And then remove the rest of the gitlab files manually with:

    sudp rm -rf /opt/gitlab/

    After this, postgresql is working fine again and i could configure th gitlab.rb and apache config files.
