When attempting to reach the web interface I get an instant 502 timeout error. No waiting, auto-502.
Background: I upgraded Ubuntu Server from 12.04 to 16.04, and in the process upgraded Gitlab from 8.* (believe it was Omnibus) to gitlab-ce 9.0.4. Everything was running fine prior to upgrade. During upgrade I had a few issues with file permissions, got those fixed, but now I am stuck.
I ran sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:check SANITIZE=true and everything passed except:
Running /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-shell/bin/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.
My environment via sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info SANITIZE=true:

I censored the URL, but it is web-accessible and uses a self-signed certificate.
Finally, here is the modified parts of my gitlab.rb:
external_url 'https://*****:4040'
gitlab_rails['backup_path'] = "/media/****/gitlab/backup"
git_data_dir "/media/*****/gitlab"
I already ran sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure, sudo gitlab-ctl upgrade and sudo gitlab-ctl restart. Restarted several times. Waited overnight to ensure all post-processing was complete. Nothing changed.
I also noticed that netstat -ltn | grep 8080 returns nothing, implying unicorn is not running, but 24335 ? 00:00:00 gitlab-unicorn- is there in ps -A | grep unicorn.
Suggestions?
Edit: I tried purging every gitlab file I could find, reinstalling gitlab-ce omnibus package, and manually reconfiguring. Same error, nothing changed! I like Gitlab quite a bit, but if I can’t get over this last issue I’ll have to look for alternatives.
