FAILED: Failed to connect to internal API

How to Use GitLab
1

Hy, I have installed Gitlab. Everything it seems to be working, but I have a problem and I not found a solution.
I have a same problem, if I reinstall the OS and Gitlab furthermore if I install an oldest Gitlab version.
Here is the error:
gitlab-rake gitlab:check

Check GitLab API access: FAILED: Failed to connect to internal API
gitlab-shell self-check failed
Try fixing it:
Make sure GitLab is running;
Check the gitlab-shell configuration file:
sudo -u git -H editor /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-shell/config.yml
Please fix the error above and rerun the checks.

Can you show us your configuration file(s)?

Of course. I change only these things in /etc/gitlab.rb file.:

external_url ‘http://gitlab.hu’

LDAP Settings
gitlab_rails[‘ldap_enabled’] = true
! remember to close this block with ‘EOS’ below
gitlab_rails[‘ldap_servers’] = YAML.load <<-‘EOS’
main: # ‘main’ is the GitLab ‘provider ID’ of this LDAP server
label: ‘LDAP’
host: ‘ldapserver.hu’
port: 389
uid: ‘uid’
method: ‘plain’ # “tls” or “ssl” or “plain”
bind_dn: ‘cn=admin,dc=tlp,dc=hu’
password: ‘password’
active_directory: false
allow_username_or_email_login: false
block_auto_created_users: false
base: ‘o=TLP,dc=tlp,dc=hu’
EOS

GitLab database settings
gitlab_rails[‘db_adapter’] = ‘postgresql’
gitlab_rails[‘db_encoding’] = ‘utf8’

gitlab_rails[‘db_username’] = ‘git’
gitlab_rails[‘db_password’] = ‘password’
gitlab_rails[‘db_host’] = ‘127.0.0.1’
gitlab_rails[‘db_port’] = ‘5432’

GitLab Workhorse
gitlab_workhorse[‘listen_network’] = “tcp”
gitlab_workhorse[‘listen_addr’] = “127.0.0.1:8181”

GitLab PostgreSQL
postgresql[‘enable’] = false

GitLab Nginx
nginx[‘enable’] = false

I use an external postgresql and Apache2 web server. Everything working fine, but I still see the error.

gitlab-ctl status

You changed the port that GitLab Workhorse is using, but your GitLab Shell is still pointing to the default port number.

You need to set the internal_api_url setting in your config file.

Thank you for your reply!
I don’t found that option in the gitlab.rb config file. Where is that setting?
