Git via HTTP fails with Gitlab 8 and master branch

I think you need to install gitlab-git-http-server. See:

Oh, sorry my fault. I just upgraded as usual and didn't look if the installation guide changed.

Status changed to closed

@stanhu Do those docs apply to the omnibus package installation? I'm trying to get this issue resolved, I've used the omnibus to update, but I am either missing this new module or need to fix my custom NGINX configuration. Do you have any pointers to help?

@rockwotj If you're using omnibus, it should all be there already. Are you using a custom Web server in front of the GitLab nginx server? If so these instructions apply:

http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/update/7.14-to-8.0.html#install-gitlab-git-http-server

@stanhu I've followed the instructions below and have a custom nginx configuration setup. The GitLab embedded nginx server is disabled.

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/doc/settings/nginx.md#using-an-existing-passengernginx-installation

@rockwotj That document may be out of date. I think you may need to check that this section is included in your custom nginx config:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/lib/support/nginx/gitlab#L116

@stanhu I tried updating the file and got an 502 error.

@stanhu Contents of cat /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb if it helps:

## Latest options listed at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/files/gitlab-config-template/gitlab.rb.template

## Url on which GitLab will be reachable.

mentioned in issue #2727 (closed)

Same issue as @rockwotj

I think I've got this solved for NGINX over at #2727
