I was forced to change the IP address of my existing GitLab CE server.
I can browse to the site, and authenticate as a user; however, when I attempt to web browse/download any files the URL for each files is pointing to the wrong IP address.
What do I do?
I resolved the matter for myself.
I modified variable external_url in the /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file, setting the new machine’s IP address into this field:
external_url = '10.57.3.38'
Then on the command prompt, I executed the following two commands in successive order:
gitlab-ctl reconfigure
gitlab-ctl restart
Once these three steps were completed everything was fixed. Even the referencing URLs to files within the browser (not in the address bar).
