"The change you wanted was rejected." on a fresh install

Created by: jampy

Since I was having trouble setting up LDAP login for GitLab I decided to completely reinstall it from scratch.

This is on Debian 7.7 with the GitLab Omnibus package.

I did:

dpkg -P gitlab

Then restarted the server as there was a Postgresql Instance running and that must be because of GitLab.

Then I did:

rm -rf /var/chef/backup/var/opt/gitlab/postgresql
rm -rf /var/opt/gitlab /var/chef/backup/var/opt/gitlab /tmp/gitlab*
rm -rf /var/log/gitlab
rm -rf /etc/gitlab/

dpkg -i gitlab_7.4.3-omnibus.5.1.0.ci-1_amd64.deb

# then disabled Nginx in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb since I'm using Apache (reverse proxy)

gitlab-ctl reconfigure

The GitLab site is working and shows the Sign In form (but no way to register?), see here: https://i.imgur.com/bzadoXF.png

Trying to login with any user/password (even if empty) always leads to this error:

422
The change you wanted was rejected.
Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to.

In /var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/production.log I see a long stack trace:

I have no clue what's happening or what I could do now... Please help.
