How to change port GitLab on CentOS 6?

Question

I tried to change port number on these files. But when I run gitlab-ctl reconfigure for updating. I can't access my link (http://myaddress.example:8790) Those files which I changed are:

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

/opt/gitlab/embedded/conf/nginx.conf

/opt/gitlab/embedded/cookbooks/gitlab/attributes/default.rb

/opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/config/gitlab.yml

/var/opt/gitlab/nginx/conf/gitlab-http.conf

In /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb I change external_url "http://myaddress.example:8790"

How can I fix it?

Answer 1

Using GIT_LAB_PATH as you gitlab base directory (the root where is it installed)

• Modify GIT_LAB_PATH/gitlab/gitlab.yml

## GitLab settings
gitlab:
## Web server settings
host: HOSTNAME
port: HTTP_PORT
https: false

• If you use non-standard ssh port you need to specify it

  ssh_port: SSH_PORT

• Modify GIT_LAB_PATH/gitlab-shell/config.yml to use the new HTTP port:

Url to gitlab instance. Used for api calls. Should end with a slash.

gitlab_url: "http://HOSTNAME:HTTP_PORT/"

• Modify /etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab

  listen *:HTTP_PORT default_server; # e.g., listen 192.168.1.1:80; In most cases *:80 is a good idea

• Modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config

What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for

Port SSH_PORT

• Restart SSH, restart GitLab, restart nginx:

  sudo service ssh restart sudo service gitlab restart sudo service nginx restart

• Test GitLab:

  sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production

• Update the remote origins for your repos to use the new port:

ssh://git@HOSTNAME:HTTP_PORT/repo_name
