Update init.d script and nginx config__ ```bash # init.d sudo rm /etc/init.d/gitlab sudo curl --output /etc/init.d/gitlab https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/5-0-stable/init.d/gitlab sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/gitlab # unicorn sudo -u git -H cp /home/git/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb /home/git/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb.old sudo -u git -H cp /home/git/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb.example /home/git/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb #nginx # Replace path from '/home/gitlab/' to '/home/git/' sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gitlab sudo service nginx restart ``` __7. Start gitlab instance__ ``` sudo service gitlab start # check if unicorn and sidekiq started # If not try to logout, also check replaced path from '/home/gitlab/' to '/home/git/' # in nginx, unicorn, init.d etc ps aux | grep unicorn ps aux | grep sidekiq ``` __8. Check installation__ ```bash # In 5-10 seconds lets check gitlab-shell sudo -u git -H /home/git/gitlab-shell/bin/check # Example of success output # Check GitLab API access: OK # Check directories and files: # /home/git/repositories: OK # /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys: OK # Now check gitlab instance sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production ``` __P.S. If everything works as expected you can remove gitlab user from system__
