I had a same error. searched and tried many way. It didn't work. Then, i found the answer in this site [http://georgik.sinusgear.com1. It worked for me.

My gitlab's version is 6.6.4.

Do as below:

1. find port unicorn run on:

   sudo emacs /home/git/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb

scroll to # listen on both a Unix domain socket and a TCP port and found that: listen "127.0.0.1:port", :tcp_nopush => true

1. edit config.yml

   sudo emacs /home/git/gitlab-shell/config.yml

change gitlab_url: "your-domain"

to

gitlab_url: "127.0.0.1:[port]"

restart gitlab

sudo service gitlab stop

sudo service gitlab start
