GitLab

Created by: worxco

I did 2 fresh installs on 10/25/12.

In both cases, it was done with mysql.

There are commands early in the process (step 5) that

• create DB
• create User
• grant permissions to user on DB

Later in the process (Step 6 - Setup application) the command:

• sudo -u gitlab bundle exec rake gitlab:app:setup RAILS_ENV=production

fails. By dropping the DB created in step 5, and re-runing this command, all works fine.

This was installed on Debian 6 64bit, fresh install, with update / upgrade process run prior to install.

I would suggest that either the gitlab:app:setup code be altered to recognize an existing DB, or add instructions to drop the DB as part of the "Setup application" step.
