Gitlab Shell not found?

sh: 1: /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-shell/bin/gitlab-shell: not found

That shows up when attempting to push. gitlab-shell is actually installed inside /home/git/gitlab-shell

Inside of config/gitlab.yml I have

  ## GitLab Shell settings
  gitlab_shell:
    path: /home/git/gitlab-shell/

    # REPOS_PATH MUST NOT BE A SYMLINK!!!
    repos_path: /home/git/repositories/
    hooks_path: /home/git/gitlab-shell/hooks/

    # Git over HTTP
    upload_pack: true
    receive_pack: true

    # If you use non-standard ssh port you need to specify it
    ssh_port: 22

Everything works fine besides attempting to push/pull. We're not using an omnibus package.

We're looking into wiping the machine and restoring the latest backup. Are there any other options?

maybe a symlink to the gitlab-shell?
But only the omnibus install should look in that path....

Status changed to closed

Completely wiped Gitlab and reinstalled, everything working fine now. No idea what caused the issue.

Incase anyone stumbles on this issue, in my case the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file needed to be regenerated as I had changed the path for gitlab-shell when migrating to the omnibus version and the authroized_keys file restricts the command that can be ran.
