GitLab installation fail on a fresh Debian 8.5.0

Hi!

I’m trying to install GitLab on a Debian 8.5.0 fresh install. I folow the installation guide but the last step fail and I don’t find any information in documentation.

The gitlab-ctl reconfigure finish by

Running handlers:
Running handlers complete
Chef Client failed. 3 resources updated in 02 seconds

I have this error in the logs :

Error executing action `run` on resource 'execute[/opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/initdb -D /var/opt/gitlab/postgresql/data -E UTF8]'

The generated gitlab.rb is enterely commented except the external_url.

gitlab-ctl status say

run: redis: (pid 12852) 2309s, got TERM; run: log: (pid 12429) 3636s

The web interface can’t be reach.

gitlab-ctl stop fail in timeout.

Here the full return of gitlab-ctl reconfigure

Thx for any help.

From your output of gitlab-ctl reconfigure I’d check the available space on your /var/opt/ partition:

Yes, your right.

I just extend my volume space and it work.
