Apache2 ProxyPass for Rails App Gitlab

I came across this gist that worked for me. In case it ever goes dead, I'll repost it.

unicorn config file

Edit file /home/gitlab/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb

Find line listen "#{app_dir}/tmp/sockets/gitlab.socket" and comment it. Uncomment line listen "127.0.0.1:8080"

required modules for apache

• sudo a2enmod proxy
• sudo a2enmod proxy_balancer
• sudo a2enmod proxy_http
• sudo a2enmod rewrite

/home/gitlab/gitlab/config/gitlab.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName git.domain.com

  # Point this to your public folder of teambox
  DocumentRoot /home/gitlab/gitlab

  RewriteEngine On

  <Proxy balancer://unicornservers>
    BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8080
  </Proxy>

  # Redirect all non-static requests to thin
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://unicornservers%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]

  ProxyPass / balancer://unicornservers/
  ProxyPassReverse / balancer://unicornservers/
  ProxyPreserveHost on

  <Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
  </Proxy>

  # Custom log file locations
  ErrorLog  /var/log/apache2/gitlab_error.log
  CustomLog /var/log/apache2/gitlab_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerName gitlab

        ## Set the overall Document Root
        DocumentRoot /var/www
        <Directory /var/www>
                Allow from all
        </Directory>

        ## Set the Rails Base URI
        RackBaseURI /gitlab
        RailsBaseURI /gitlab
        <Directory /var/www/gitlab>
                Allow from all
                Options -MultiViews
        </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

These settings in your httpd.conf or your sites config file should do., Please remove the reverse proxy settings if you have any and try, it will work.,

if you have below lines along with above config, please remove the below lines,

ProxyPass /gitlab/ http://localhost:3000/gitlab/
ProxyPassReverse /gitlab/ http://localhost:3000/gitlab/
Proxy on

Restart your webserver

service apache2 restart
