GitLab

Created by: turbulenceX

I did a fresh install of Gitlab 5.0 on Ubuntu 12.04. I tested the install with and without using the relative url root setting.

Without setting relative url root, everything seems to work.

With setting relative url root, the push and clone breaks. The following config files I have changed:

unicorn.rb ENV['RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT'] = "/myrepos"

gitlab.yml

  ## GitLab settings
  gitlab:
    ## Web server settings
    host: mydomain.com
    port: 80
    https: false
    # Uncomment and customize to run in non-root path
    # Note that ENV['RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT'] in config/unicorn.rb may need to be changed
    relative_url_root: /myrepos

    # Uncomment and customize if you can't use the default user to run GitLab (default: 'git')
    # user: git

    ## Email settings
    # Email address used in the "From" field in mails sent by GitLab
    email_from: gitlab@localhost

    # Email address of your support contact (default: same as email_from)
    support_email: support@localhost

    ## Project settings
    default_projects_limit: 10
    # signup_enabled: true          # default: false - Account passwords are not sent via the email if signup is enabled.
    # username_changing_enabled: false # default: true - User can change her username/namespace

CREATING TEST REPOSITORY This was the instructions given on by gitlab after creating test.git

mkdir test
cd test
git init
touch README
git add README
git commit -m 'first commit'
git remote add origin [email protected]:root/test.git
git push -u origin master

OUTPUT

$git clone http://mydomain.com/myrepos/root/test.git

fatal: http://mydomain.com/myrepos/root/test.git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

$git remote add origin [email protected]:root/test.git
$git push -u origin master

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

• git repository folder and files are owned by git, so it shouldn't be a permissions problem at all.
• I have tried using the solution *:80 in the nginx config file, but this did not solve anything (see #3384 (closed))
• I can successfully view my newly created test project on gitlab's web ui at mydomain.com/myrepos/root/test. I have only tested the create new project on the web ui, and nothing else, but for the most part the web ui seems to run fine.
