404 error on uploaded files after upgrade from 7.4 to 7.5

After upgrading to Gitlab CE 7.5 following the documentation, the uploaded files (avatar images, files attached to issues…) are unavailable.

I found the solution in a comment of an old closed issue.

The author of this comment suggests to change the line

location /uploads/ {

to

location uploads/ {

in the nginx config file (see the proposed gitlab file on master in lib/support/nginx/gitlab).

Is this the right fix?

Title changed from 404 error on uploaded avatar images after upgrade from 7.4 to 7.5 to 404 error on uploaded files after upgrade from 7.4 to 7.5

I finally found what I got wrong.

Following the instructions in the "Update config files" section of the documentation, I clicked on the lib/support/nginx/gitlab link, which targets the master branch.

By doing so, I updated my Nginx config file to a too recent version.

Shouldn't the update documentation be modified for the link to target the right branch?
