? Using gitlab from a virtual directory?

Created by: pvencill

The default nginx config provided here: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/doc/installation.md is for running the gitlab instance as the root site on your nginx server.

Is it possible to run it under a subdirectory, like, http://my.server/gitlab ?

I tried modifying the gitlab configuration file to have change the location / entry to location /gitlab/ but get a 404 as a result.

Any suggestions on how to make this work?

To clarify, here's my config. The problem is that the URLs are all relative to / not to my /gitlab/ directory. Is there some other step I'm missing?

upstream gitlab { server 127.0.0.1:5000; }

server { listen 80; # e.g., listen 192.168.1.1:80; root /home/gitlab/gitlab/public;

access_log /var/log/nginx/gitlab_access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/gitlab_error.log;

location /gitlab/ { rewrite ^/gitlab/(.*)$ /$1 break; try_files $uri $uri/index.html $uri.html @gitlab; }

location @gitlab { proxy_read_timeout 300; # https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/694 proxy_connect_timeout 300; # https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/694 proxy_redirect off;

proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header   Host              $http_host;
proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP         $remote_addr;

proxy_pass http://gitlab;

} }

This is likely a configuration change in the Gitlab app itself. Read http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3355319/rails-app-in-a-subdirectory http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html I just submitted https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/pull/1492 allowing for improving static page coexistence.

Close as duplicate of Issue #1950 (closed) which has a pending pull request?

@gliptak I don't see how your PR is related.

@Riyad without https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/1492 clicking on some "root" URL will forward you back to the actual server root

@gliptak root_path is not your "server root", it's your "app root". So, as long as Rails knows you are in a sub-URI all paths/URLs will be prefixed.
