Git Lab 502 - Cent OS

How to Use GitLab
1

Still cant get past 502 error after upgrades and setting changes, any help really really appreciated.

Have set up and install Gitlab as per Cent OS 6 instructions
created a subdomain and edited gitlab.rb

nginx['enable'] = false
external_url 'http://gitlab.adamprocter.co.uk:8081'
web_server['external_users'] = ['nginx']
gitlab_rails['trusted_proxies'] = [ '192.168.1.0/24', '192.168.2.1', '2001:0db8::/32' ]
in my custom nginx I also have

upstream gitlab {
server unix:/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/sockets/gitlab.socket;
}

server {
listen 217.147.85.86:8081 default_server;
listen [::]:8081 default_server ipv6only=on;

root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
server_name gitlab.adamprocter.co.uk;

location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://gitlab;
}
}

Hi

Please try to reconfigure the instance by running below command

sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
sudo gitlab-ctl restart

If the issue persists run the rake tests to identify the issue.

sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:check --trace

Please feel free to post question if any.

Hi

There are many errors in the installation actually the gitllab hasn’t installed properly.
I would suggest you the following:
I assume you don’t have any projects, users or data in your Gitlab instance
Rather debugging issues one by one, cleanse the config and data, and then uninstall Gitlab. This step will erase all data, repos, users and config and all data associated with your gitlab server. Install Gitlab freshly that will be a good option to save time and reduce frustration.

**Steps : **
Cleanse/erase
sudo gitlab-ctl cleanse --trace

Note: For RHEL, I am not sure abt Cent OS. U might need to register to RHN for yum to install packages properly.
Install Steps
sudo yum install curl openssh-server openssh-clients postfix cronie
sudo service postfix start
sudo chkconfig postfix on
sudo lokkit -s http -s ssh
rpm -i gitlab-ce-XXX.rpm
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
sudo gitlab-ctl restart
sudo gitlab-ctl status
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:check SANITIZE=true --trace

Please do these steps and let us know if you are still facing issues. In case you have data in your Gitlab instance you need to resolve problems one by one from the rake o/p you have posted above, starting with creating a production log file.
Please feel free to post your questions.

Cheers :slight_smile: Good Luck :slight_smile:

Thanks for the reply

I did the Cleanse and the following steps to install as below

Install Steps
sudo yum install curl openssh-server openssh-clients postfix cronie
sudo service postfix start
sudo chkconfig postfix on
sudo lokkit -s http -s ssh
curl -sS https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash
sudo yum install gitlab-ce
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
sudo gitlab-ctl restart
sudo gitlab-ctl status
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:check SANITIZE=true --trace

this was the output
