Summary:
When upgrading to a minor version (14.8.6), coming from 14.8.3 version, on my way to upgrade to a major one (14.9.0), the gitlab-ctl reconfigure got stuck on action run step, and sent the next error:
Running handlers:
There was an error running gitlab-ctl reconfigure:
rails_migration[gitlab-rails] (gitlab::database_migrations line 51) had an error: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: bash[migrate gitlab-rails database] (/opt/gitlab/embedded/cookbooks/cache/cookbooks/gitlab/resources/rails_migration.rb line 16) had an error: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1'
Searching how to solve this problem, I found this gitlab issue where its proposed to make a gitlab backup manually using various rake tasks.
But when trying to use these tasks -almost every rake task- this error message is sent:
rake aborted!

Any idea on how can I fix this??
It has been very difficult for me to debug as I have no ruby skills.
Thanks on advance!
