Hi,
at the weekend I tried to install GitLab CE on my server. As mentioned in the title my system is based on Ubuntu Server 14.04 with an apache2 Webserver and a MySQL backend managed by Plesk. So, my first problem is: I followed the documentation and installed gitlab/gitlab-ci/workhorse under /home/git/gitlab. But my vhosts configs are generated every time I change something in Plesk. And for Plesk the sub domain for GitLab is placed under the physical DocumentRoot from the main domain. I can temporarily change the vhost config to point to /home/git/gitlab/public and then never edit the config again. That´s one way, but not the best in my opinion. So, please help me out. The system also depends on apache2 and MySQL, because Plesk need it (also my own web projects). I followed also the instructions from the inofficial guide to install GitLab on apache2.
The next problem was, that I could only get Ruby 1.9 from the official server hoster repos. So, I needed to install rbenv and get the needed Ruby 2.1.8 version. This is needed by some gem plugins that uses GitLab. Everything looks fine, GitLab and other daemons are running. But: I do not see the web page itself. I am only able to receive the favicon…
After 10 hours struggling to get a working Ruby version and to search for failure solutions on the internet I have given it up. But I wrote down every single comand, that I typed in. You can see it below.
First here are the errors from the apache2 error_log:
[Sun Apr 24 14:05:39.357935 2016] [proxy:error] [pid 3572] (111)Connection refused: AH00957: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:8181 (*) failed
