Hi.

Hi @sousape and welcome to the GitLab Forum!

The error message you’re seeing indicates that ruby version 2.4.0 is being used, whereas v 2.5.3 is required for GitLab v 11.11.0.
The move to ruby 2.5.3 began with version 11.6.x of GitLab.

Can you restore from to backup?

In either case, try running

sudo yum install gitlab-ee-11.6.11-ee.0.el7
sudo gitlab-ctl restart

If it works without error, now try:

sudo yum update gitlab-ee

This should get you the latest version of GitLab EE with v 2.5.3 of Ruby.

Let me know if you have any questions or problems.

Best Regards,
Greg
