Can't push to new gitlab install

Question

Good afternoon all,

Backed up several old git repos and am in the process of adding them to a knew gitlab install. Install looks like the guide here https://github.c

Answer 1

As the same user as you are attempting to connect with do a:

ssh git@1.2.3.4 "ls /usr/local/project.git"

and make sure you see the repo.

Then add do a git clone:

git clone git@1.2.3.4:/usr/local/project.git

as the same user.

My suspicion is that you don't have the correct repo location.

Answer 2

This question a bit old, so I'm not sure if this is still helpful, but I was having the same problem and finally fixed it.

I found the solution in one of the comments in this bug report.

In /etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab, there's a line that, if you follow the helpful comments, will have your IP. Change it to listen to *:80 instead. It should look like this:

listen *:80 default_server;         # e.g., listen 192.168.1.1:80;

Then, restart Gitlab and Nginx:

sudo service gitlab restart
sudo service nginx restart

That resolved the problem for me.

To confirm that this was the problem, I removed the * and put in the IP, restarted and it broke again. Put it back, and it worked.

I'm not completely sure why this fixes it, but I hope this helps somebody out there; this was a very frustrating problem to deal with.
