New user of GL. Ubuntu did an software upgrade and GitLab was one of them.
Now GitLab won’t start!
Error text:
There was an error running gitlab-ctl reconfigure:

Now I really need yor help. I’m hosting 10+ projects and I’ll hate if they are lost. I do have backups thou
If you give us some more info about your installation, that will make it easier for someone to be able to help you. From what you are saying, it seems you are using either the packaged version of GitLab in Ubuntu, or a more recent package from https://packages.gitlab.com.
Could you tell us:
Which version of Ubuntu you are running? You can find out by running the lsb_release -a command.
Which package version of GitLab do you have installed? You can find out by running apt-cache policy gitlab; or alternatively apt-cache policy gitlab-ce if that does not work.
I would also suggest to use the code formatting function of the editor, as it makes it easier to read the output of commands, particularly log output. It’s the </> icon at the top of the editor window when you’re writing a post, or you can alternatively use markdown directly.
My first thought would be to address that message in your log:
PG::ConnectionBad: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket “/var/opt/gitlab/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432”?
Is PostgreSQL still running? It could be that the service was stopped after the package upgrades on your system. What’s the output of sudo service postgresql status?
Also, it seems you installed the gitlab-ee (Enterprise Edition) vs. the gitlab-ce (Community Edition) package. I’m not sure it makes much of a difference, as I’m not familiar with the GitLab .deb packages. But it might be that you installed gitlab-ee because you are a paying customer, in which case you might want to contact GitLab support directly.
My mistake, please scratch the question about the output of sudo service postgresql status. PostgreSQL in the gitlab-ee (or -ce) packages is not installed that way in the system. As I said, I don’t have much experience with the .deb packages, but I’ve just done an install to see how they work.
To see if the database is running, you can run sudo gitlab-ctl postgresql status. In fact, you can just run sudo gitlab-ctl status to output a list with the status of all services on which GitLab depends. That at least should give you some idea if the database server is running at all.
Never fear asking questions. People here are welcoming and willing to help. Even experienced users have got a lot to learn from beginners.

In step 6 it just says i should checkout and fetcch new version of code. But i am not connected to remote repository not there is any way i can get the code. I am a begginner with this and it would be great if you could just help me. I know im making a mistake somewhere but cant figure it out.
I’m pretty fresh myself but I can try to help you anyway.
Which installation do you have? If it is an omnibus installation and you just want the latest version you can do this pretty easy: Update GitLab
Anyway, this does not work since im using 10.7 version. So, first I need to upgrade to 10.8, and then to 11.0 and higher. I tried this before and it did not work.
The most confusing thing for me is the step 6 which says just to checkout the gitlab project branch and fetch the code. That seems weird and of course it does not work.
I’m sorry but I don’t understand.
No disrespect but do you know how to use Git? In my previous post there was a link to GitLab source. You can fetch it from there.
:)) of course I know, no problem. I guess i was expecting them to write that i need to create a repository, clone remote repository there, checkout to a specific version and then do that for all those git repositories (there are few of them). I never done it that way. Previously i just did it the way you already wrote. I just never did it that way.
You know, when i go to /home/git/gitlab and run fetch, nothing happens. I need to first init the repository and so on… I guess i expected them to write that as well
Thank you very much for your response. Its gitlab instalation that we use while developing, so i was not very confident about doing all those things manually for the first time. Ill just do it on some test environment first.
