Something went wrong when "new project"

I installed gitlab-ce on centos 7 x86_64, using the repo:

yum -y install gitlab-ce

Then, I configured the gitlab, I logged into the gitlab web interface using root, and when I tried to create my first project as root (or any other user), then gitlab show this message:

Error 500: Whoops, something went wrong on our end.

gitlab version: Name : gitlab-ce Version : 7.12.2~omnibus.1 Release : 1 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: lun 13 jul 2015 00:08:51 EST

using gitlab-ctl tail, the log displayed the following error:

btw: i tried to reinstall, to reboot, to remove /var/opt/gitlab and reinstall, and nothing works... always the same.

This looks similar to an issue with the Raspberry Pi2 build where ExecJS can't run nodejs for some reason (omnibus-gitlab#635 (closed)). Does installing nodejs by hand make things work?

sudo yum install nodejs npm --enablerepo=epel

cc: @marin

Before you run @stanhu recommendation please try:

/opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/node --version

Before installing nodejs and npm:

[root@gitm ~]# /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/node --version v0.10.10

After installing nodejs and npm by yum...

[root@gitm ~]# node --version v0.10.36

but the problem still there.

@stanhu @unmanarc In this case this is not related to omnibus-gitlab#635 (closed)

I just spun up a fresh installation of CentOS 7 on Google Cloud, installed GitLab, and had no issues creating a new project. I wonder what is different with your system.

thanks!

I did a dmesg, and found something about node...

grsec: denied RWX mmap of by /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/node[node:2043] uid/euid:997/997 gid/egid:995/995, parent /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/ruby[ruby:1400] uid/euid:997/997 gid/egid:995/995

seems that because I'm using grsec, some mmap permission on node is missing.

I'll try to solve it with grsec.

Regards.

Status changed to closed

Ok, this sounds like an issue out of the scope of normal GitLab installations, so I'll close this for now. Hope you can figure it out.
