Installation help for gitlab

I am trying to install gitlab and am following https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-r...install/centos It is an existing Centos 6.2 server (not 6.5) with MySQL. I got 90% through it, but am receiving the below error. I know almost nothing about Ruby/Gems, and would appreciate some insight where I am going astray. Thank you

Code:

[root@desktop gitlab]# sudo -u git -H /usr/local/bin/bundle install --deployment --without development test postgres aws

I don't know much about gems either, but have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling mysql? Or installing it if you didn't have it in the first place.

Hi Redd9, MySQL is working great. I haven't, however, tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Any reason I should?

I'd guess you are missing the development parts of mysql.
I.e. you cannot build a "Mysql application" with the "run time mysql" only.

Install the package that provides mysql.h and other development files :

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
EDIT : Would be # 'yum install mysql-devel' for CentOS.

Code:

# 5.

Sorry, it's "mysql-devel" from the CentOS "base.repo"

But : When you have chosen "mysql55"/ius :
The required development file from the ius.repo : # yum install mysql55-devel
* 32 http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/s...r_m.group.html
* 64 http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/s...r_m.group.html

.. Will provide /usr/include/mysql/{mysql.h, 33-other-files.h, mysql/**}
.. and /usr/lib(64)/mysql/{libmysqlclient_r.so, libmysqlclient.so}

* The command to find a package providing mysql.h is $ yum provides */mysql.h

Thanks knudfl, that did the trick!

Ran into another snag. What does the following mean? Thank you

Code:

[root@desktop gitlab]# sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:setup RAILS_ENV=production

sudo: bundle: command not found

[root@desktop gitlab]#

# 7 .

That a good question as ..
$ yum 'provides */bundle' probably will reply with a lot of packages.

But you are using ruby, so why not try # yum install rubygem-bundler
→ → /usr/bin/bundle

Note : 'rubygem-bundler' should be in "CentOS-extra.repo" :
You may have to enable "extra" ? ( edit enable=0 to enable=1 ).

-

I tried the command without sudo, and made some progress. Think it is okay doing so as root, or will this mess permissions, etc up? Maybe I should not have attempted to do the original install as root?

Code:

[root@desktop gitlab]# bundle exec rake gitlab:setup RAILS_ENV=production

 Warning

  You are running as user root, we hope you know what you are doing.

This will create the necessary database tables and seed the database.

You will lose any previous data stored in the database.

Do you want to continue (yes/no)? n

Do you want to continue (yes/no)? ^Crake aborted!

I then logged in as git (had to change user to allow remote access), but no progress.

Code:

-sh-4.1$ cd /home/git/gitlab

-sh-4.1$ sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:setup RAILS_ENV=production

git is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

-sh-4.1$

Thanks!

I changed owner of all files in /home/git to "git", and then as user git, did the following without the sudo, and it appeared to work. I am in uncharted territory :(

Code:

bundle exec rake gitlab:setup RAILS_ENV=production

you did point the out of date yum to the historical archive " the vault"

the 6.2 repos were removed a year ago
http://vault.centos.org/
after 6.2 went "end of life" back in July of 2012

and please HEED the warning from cent about using a unsupported OS
-- the place holder in the old 6.2 repo mirrors
http://mirrors.arsc.edu/centos/6.2/readme

Quote:

This directory (and version of CentOS) is depreciated. For normal users,
you should use /6/ and not /6.2/ in your path. Please see this FAQ
concerning the CentOS release scheme:

http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34

If you know what you are doing, and absolutely want to remain at the 6.2
level, go to http://vault.centos.org/ for packages.

Please keep in mind that 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2 no longer gets any updates, nor
any security fix's.

Thanks John,

I just realized I am at 6.5. I forgot that I installed at 6.4, not 6.2, and update must have gotten me to 6.5?

# 12 : $ cat /etc/redhat-release

The file /etc/redhat-release , etc. **-release are updated, when you do:
# yum update

Hello again, I am still stumped on the below line.

Code:

[root@desktop gitlab]# sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:setup RAILS_ENV=production

sudo: bundle: command not found

[root@desktop gitlab]#

I tried installing rubygem-bundler, but I got "No package rubygem-bundler available" (yes, I extra is enabled).

What is odd is why can I execute bundle without sudo?????????????

Code:

[root@desktop gitlab]# bundle exec rake gitlab:setup RAILS_ENV=production

Do you want to continue (yes/no)? no

Quitting...

[root@desktop gitlab]#

I don't want to do so as root user as it deviates from the documentation I am following and I don't totally know what I am doing.

you are using "sudo"
so did you set it up correctly ?
it is installed but disabled and not configured by default
the mysql DB is owned by the user "mysql"
is that user in the sudoers list

RHEL/CentOS/Fedora normally uses "su -" for installing software
