Hi,

I have GitLab CE:

System information

After starting: gitlab-ctl start
I have the following problem, Gitaly does not start…
In the logs I see the following error:

2018-03-14_14:35:08.43180 time=“2018-03-14T14:35:08Z” level=info msg=“Starting Gitaly” version=“Gitaly, version 0.81.0, built 20180225.183225”

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Gitaly every second trying to start …
in the directory /tmp/ there is no file specified.
Is this a problem with permissions to the /tmp/ directory?

drwxrwxr-x+ 8 root root 4096 Mar 14 15:49 tmp

I run gitlab from the root account.

I installed GitLab 10.5.4 analogously on Ubuntu 16.04. Here, no problem, it works correctly.
What could be a problem when installing on CentOS 6.6?

The script for running gitaly is a binary file, where can I view its contents?
/opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/gitaly

I did not find the file on the disk: gitaly-linguist-path* , gitaly-linguist*, etc.
Both on Ubuntu (where it’s ok) or on CentOS (where’s the error).

Hi,
I made today the update to the latest version GitLab 10.5.4
…unfortunately no changes.

For which it is responsible: load linguist colors ?
Where is it run? Where is the path configured?
I am asking for help, or an indication of where I can look for the cause …

@Jachym please open an issue in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues. There might be a bug.

I temporary solved this problem in the following way, I added a new directory:

sudo -u git mkdir /var/opt/gitlab/gitaly/tmp

And then in the configuration file I added the following variable:

gitaly[‘env’] = {
‘TMPDIR’ => ‘/var/opt/gitlab/gitaly/tmp’
}

After creating TMPDIR, Gitaly started correctly.

And I’ve created a Bug:
