Hi,
I upgraded from 11.11.8 to 12.0.12 and executed the “gitlab-ctl reconfigure” command, it returns error message as follows:

And then I upgraded from 12.1.17 to 12.9.5, it returns error messages as follows:

This usually happens when your last run of `gitlab-ctl reconfigure` didn't complete successfully.
This file is used to check if any of the unsupported configurations are enabled,
and hence require a working reconfigure before upgrading.
Please run `sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure` to fix it and try again.

I have no idea how to resolve the errors.
Could you please give me the solution to upgrade the GitLab successfully?
Many thanks,
