I just created a CentOS 6.3 VM and followed these instructions for the gitlab install: http://howto.basjes.nl/linux/installing-gitlab-on-centos-6

I've tried this installation with both gitlab v3.01 and v2.91.

Here is what is working for me:

  • I can complete the gitlab install without problem
  • From the command-line, I can use passwordless authentication from the the gitlab service account to the gitolite service account
  • From the command-line, I can clone the gitolite-admin repo, make changes, and pushes the changes back to the remote repo
  • I can start the rails web app
  • I can login the web management site
  • I can create new accounts and login with the new accounts

Here's what I can't do:

  • I can't create projects (Repos)
  • I can't add ssh keys

I always get the same error:

GitLab was unable to access your Gitolite system.

In the githost.log log file, I get a less than useful error:

ERROR -> Timeout::Error execution expired

  • I've double checked permissions
  • Reviewed the gitlab.yml config file
  • Ran through the four suggested troubleshooting tips from the web page
  • Tried different versions of gitlab, but no matter what I do, I keep getting the same error.

I'm stuck because the logs don't tell me anything and I am able to access the gitolite repositories with the gitlab service account without issue. Anybody have any success with the most recent versions of CentOS/Gitlab/Gitolite? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

I know this is kind of late - but for completeness.

I've run into the same problem doing installation on recent Debian version. It is, or was for me, caused by an old version of redis-server.
