GitLab

Created by: phortx

The init script uses following path configuration:

app_root="/home/$app_user/gitlab"
pid_path="$app_root/tmp/pids"
socket_path="$app_root/tmp/sockets"
web_server_pid_path="$pid_path/unicorn.pid"
sidekiq_pid_path="$pid_path/sidekiq.pid"

Those are relative to app_root

You can change app_root in the gitlab.default file, but this file is read after the variables above are assigned. That means that app_root is correct, but the other paths are still wrong.

So you have to write the whole path config in the default script or move the inclusion default script upwards (we did the last one in our installation).
