GitLab

Created by: hardikdangar

Hi guys,

I have tried to update my gitlab from 2.8 to 5.0 incrementally so first 2.6 to 3.0 then 3.0 to 3.1 ... 4.2 to 5.0 at all updates my gitlab app was working fine. i was able to push and pull code via accounts. but after updating to 5.0 there is major problem i can't add my gitlab public keys via gitlab. it gives me 500 error page. although other pages are working fine.

Now check status command returns following code

$ sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production

Rails Error: Unable to access log file. Please ensure that /home/gitlab/gitlab/log/production.log exists and is chmod 0666. The log level has been raised to WARN and the output directed to STDERR until the problem is fixed. Creating scope :public. Overwriting existing method Project.public.

There's definitely something went wrong as its asking password at last and from v5.0 we need to use git user but gitlab status seems to asking for git user.

What's the best way to deal with this? is there something like i could do db backup and repository's backup and install v5.0 fresh and just migrate the data somehow cause i believe the long chain of upgrades could have failed somewhere....
