http://stackoverflow.com – I encounter a very very strange problem today... I followed a link(https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/doc/install/installatio...) to install GitLab on my Linux server today, in the Gitolite section, there are two lines to set permission and ownership of a folder: sudo chmod -R ug+rwXs,o-rwx /home/git/repositories/ sudo chown -R git:git /home/git/repositories/ And before these lines, it created a user and added it to a specific group: sudo adduser --disabled-login --gecos 'GitLab' gitlab sudo usermod -a -G git gitlab I checked the user and permissions after these steps: gi (HowTos)

this is my first question on stackoverflow so if i'm doing something wrong just say it ^^

I'm here because i'm trying to setup gitlab on my server.

I am following this instruction to install gitlab: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/5-0-stable/doc/install/install...

All is well until #7. nginx.

Trying to use the excellent gitlab app (https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq), which works fine when I go directly to it w/o nginx, and it also works with their provided config that serves it over the root path (/). But I want to serve it off a virtual directory of /gitlab since I have an existing app that I also want to serve. I can't subdomain in my environment, so paths are it.

I am installing gitlab on a mac but this latter is mainly designed for linux os. Following the doc, I have to run this command

curl --output /etc/init.d/gitlab https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/master/init.d/gitlab

What is the mac equivalent of the /etc/init.d folder (I know about the launchd command but I am looking for the mac's equivalent /etc/init.d folder) ?

I have been trying to install GitLab on CentOS 5.x, but I am stuck now and google's are confusing.

I have been following this install guide (currently stuck here)

After running bundle exec rake gitlab:app:status RAILS_ENV=production for the secund time i get this output:

Starting diagnostic config/database.yml............exists config/gitlab.yml............exists /home/git/repositories/........

GitLab, a fast, secure and stable solution based on Ruby on Rails & Gitolite and distributed under the MIT License, is now at version 4.1. GitLab doesn't shy away from the fact that it is inspired by GitHub and the project is even hosted there.

It seems I have a conflict of mysql versions, one installed with MAMP in the Applications folder and the other installed with brew install mysql2. I created with the mysql related to MAMP, a gitlab mysql user and a gitlabhq_production database. It worked fine.

Suppose now I have a user on my os called 'git'.

Now, I have gitlab and gitolite running on my ubuntu server. However, this server is too slow and my company wish to move the server to another machine. Are there any way to move gitlab and gitolite server( the whole files, users and setting) to another machine?

Installing and creating all users and repositories again would be my last choice. Thank you in advance.

I have just installed Gitolite and Gitlab and I am very happy with it. Everything works fine so far. I can create repos, push to them, clone them on other clients on the network. Great!

But now I wanted to do some post-receive hooks. I.e. when I push to some repo, this repo should be checked out on the server in the /var/www/repos directory.
