I installed GitLab using the Omnibus installer. It is currently working correctly using Nginx (which GitLab is bundled with) running on port 81. I changed from port 80 to port 81 because I have Apache running on port 80. I also have Tomcat installed and running on port 8080, so I changed the Unicorn port to 8081. All of this works correctly. Below are the settings I changed:

/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

# https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/629def0a7a26e7c2326566f0758d4a27857b52a3/README.md#configuring-the-external-url-for-gitlab
external_url 'http://mysite.example.net:81'

#https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md#tcp-ports-for-gitlab-services-are-already-taken
unicorn['port'] = 8081

#https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md#storing-git-data-in-an-alternative-directory
git_data_dir "/mnt/tank/gitlab"

/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/etc/gitlab.yml

  # 1. GitLab app settings
  # ==========================

  ## GitLab settings
  gitlab:
    ## Web server settings (note: host is the FQDN, do not include http://)
    host: mysite.example.net
    port: 81
    https: false

Unfortunately I need GitLab to run on port 80. I have tried several Apache virtual host configurations. The only success I have had is that I can type the URL http://mysite.example.com/gitlab and get a 404 error, but I see that the URL changes to http://mysite.example.com/users/sign_in. The redirect caused the gitlab to be removed but if I put it back in to get the URL http://mysite.example.com/gitlab/users/sign_in I can see the GitLab login page, though it is all jacked up because none of the images are are correct. The configuration I used to achieve these results is below:

/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

    external_url 'http://mysite.example.com'

#https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md#tcp-ports-for-gitlab-services-are-already-taken
    unicorn['port'] = 8081

    nginx['enable'] = false
    web_server['external_users'] = ['www-data']

Is there a list of the default MIME types for IIS 7 somewhere?

The one I am most concerned with right now is that for .zip files.

I know application/zip will work, but IIS 7 has something else by default... I just can't remember what it is.

On that same note, is there a way to reset all the MIME types to their default values?

Not long ago I found WAMP and thought it was a God send because it had all the things I wanted/needed (Apache, PHP, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin) all built into one installer. One thing about WAMP has been making me mad is an error I get in phpMyAdmin about the advanced features not working. I have tried to fix that error long enough on that error for long enough.

I now read that most people prefer XAMPP over WAMP, but I am a bit concerned that XAMPP might have some extra security holes with Mercury and Perl, two thing that I don't really need or want right now.

Are my security concerns justified or not?

Is there any other reasons to go with XAMPP over WAMP or vice versa?
