Installed gitlab-ci but only nginx welcome page shows

  • 772

I installed gitlab-ci using this guide and everything has gone pretty well. I got to the end of the tutorial and when I go to the ip address of the server I only get a Welcome to nginx! screen. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 server, and I have seen a similar question answered, on stack overflow, but the answer doesn't apply to me (or I don't fully understand it) since I'm not using localhost. I can't use a browser on this server (to the best of my knowledge) since I'm ssh'ing to it.

Here is my /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gitlab_ci

# GITLAB CI
# Maintainer: @randx
# App Version: 2.0

upstream gitlab_ci {
  server unix:/home/gitlab_ci/gitlab-ci/tmp/sockets/gitlab-ci.socket;
}

server {
  listen 192.168.1.151:80;         # e.g., listen 192.168.1.1:80;
  server_name git-ci 192.168.1.25;     # e.g., server_name source.example.com;
  root /home/gitlab_ci/gitlab-ci/public;

  access_log  /var/log/nginx/gitlab_ci_access.log;
  error_log   /var/log/nginx/gitlab_ci_error.log;

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/index.html $uri.html @gitlab_ci;
  }

  location @gitlab_ci {
proxy_read_timeout 300;
proxy_connect_timeout 300;
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_ci;
  }

  # adjust this to match the largest build log your runners might submit,
  # set to 0 to disable limit
  client_max_body_size 10m;
}

I think my problem is in the server_name field, but my ip address is all I have for the server. I don't have an actual name for the server set up via DNS yet, so I'm not sure what I should put for the server_name and source.example.com for the server_name field. I've tried a few combinations, but nothing has worked. Thanks for any help.

    If you are not planning to host additional domains on the same server, you can make this gitlab instance the default virtualhost with these instructions:

    1. Disable the default server by removing /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

    2. Replace listen and server_name with the following lines:

    listen 80 default_server;

    server_name _;

    With these settings you should be able to access gitlab.

  2. This worked for me; I stopped the nginx service systemctl stop nginx
