Apache vhost config for gitlab

README.md

unicorn config file

Edit file /home/gitlab/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb

Find line listen "#{app_dir}/tmp/sockets/gitlab.socket" and comment it. Uncomment line listen "127.0.0.1:8080"

required modules for apache

• sudo a2enmod proxy
• sudo a2enmod proxy_balancer
• sudo a2enmod proxy_http
• sudo a2enmod rewrite

Puma replaced unicorn, does anything need to be changed in puma for this to work correctly?

Thanks a lot. This is my gitlab.conf that did the trick (note the different version numbers in /gems/ lines):

   LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/passenger-4.0.25/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
   PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/passenger-4.0.25
   PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName gitlab
        # Point this to your public folder of teambox
        DocumentRoot /home/git/gitlab/public
        ProxyPass /gitlab/ http://127.0.0.1:8081/
        ProxyPassReverse /gitlab/ http://127.0.0.1:8081/
        ProxyPreserveHost On

        # Custom log file locations
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/gitlab_error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/gitlab_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

In general you don't need the passenger when you are using unicorn. You just need a proxy and a workaround for try files:
(See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-recipes/tree/master/web-server/apache)

Note: For apache 2.4 the Order / Allow / Deny syntax has changed to Require syntax. I also agree with comments above about not needing a load balancer, or passenger. In fact the config is very simple, this is my file which works on 2.4.7:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName git.domain.com.au
    ServerAlias git  # this allows short name access within the domain
    DocumentRoot /var/opt/gitlab

    RewriteEngine On
    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8888/

    <Location />
        ProxyPassReverse /
        Require all granted   # Apache 2.4
    </Location>

    # Custom log file locations
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/gitlab_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/gitlab_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

hello, i want to use apache for gitlab, and got this gitlab.yml like this

GitLab settings

gitlab:
## Web server settings (note: host is the FQDN, do not include http://)
host: 54.xxx.xxx.xx
port: 80
https: false

and on unicorn.rb

What ports/sockets to listen on, and what options for them.

listen "127.0.0.1:8080", :tcp_nopush => true
listen "/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/sockets/gitlab.socket", :backlog => 1024

working_directory '/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/working'

so if i want to switch to apache only comment this line ?

listen "/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/sockets/gitlab.socket", :backlog => 1024

and put this lines on httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName git.domain.com.au
ServerAlias git # this allows short name access within the domain
DocumentRoot /var/opt/gitlab

RewriteEngine On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8888/

<Location />
    ProxyPassReverse /
    Require all granted   # Apache 2.4
</Location>

# Custom log file locations
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/gitlab_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/gitlab_access.log combined

how about gitlab.yml setting
there is port config
port: 80

do i need to comment it ?

thanks a lot :)

all my subdomains stopped working and everysubdomin is now pointed to my gitlab url

@omps Check your port 80 netstat -plnt | grep ':80' whether is overwrite by Nginx, It happens to my local server as well. My original webserver is running on apache2.4 after installed gitlab all website doesn't work anymore.

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8060            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      16929/nginx

I follow the tutorial on this website to update it the gitlab.rb configuration file and now is back to

tcp6       0      0 :::8081                 :::*                    LISTEN      1233/apache2
