Can't start gitlab service. (CentOS 6.4)

[mobdim]

I ran up to the step: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/tree/master/install/centos#start-your-gitlab-instance

Then:

service gitlab start
Starting unicorn:ERROR: RVM Ruby not used, run `rvm use ruby` first.
                                                           [FAILED]
Starting sidekiq: ERROR: RVM Ruby not used, run `rvm use ruby` first.
                                                           [FAILED]

But (Ruby install via rvm.)

ruby -v

What is the output of rvm env and which ruby?

[mobdim]

rvm env

export PATH ; PATH="/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247@global/bin:/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin:/usr/local/rvm/bin:$PATH"

unset MAGLEV_HOME

which ruby

/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/ruby

This is a path problem. In init service the rvm path is /usr/local/rvm/bin, see gitlab-unicorn#L44. If you change this to /usr/local/rvm/ does it work as expected? I'll take a look at it later this day as I don't have access to a CentOS VM right now.

[mobdim]

After being changed to /usr/local/rvm:

service gitlab start

Starting unicorn:bash: /usr/bin/bundle: /usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
                                                           [FAILED]
Starting sidekiq: bash: /usr/bin/bundle: /usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
                                                           [FAILED]

My advices:

First check ruby:

which ruby

The result must looks like:

/usr/local/bin/ruby

If it is not necessary using rvm don't use it.

yum remove rvm

Than follow the white rabbit:
https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/tree/master/install/centos#2-ruby

You need follow one by one all steps correctly..

When you have got any problem during installation please share screens with us and we will try to solve them together.

[mobdim]

It seems to me that compile ruby from source is not correct.
RVM use conveniently. Better would be to adapt the script to work in this mode.
I have running redmine ruby through rvm.

[ilkercapli]

And than, please write the result of

which ruby

You've got to add ruby bin filepath to bash profile or adding a symbolic link maybe solve your problem.
/usr/bin/ruby link to your ruby bin.

[ilkercapli]

# ------- Login as git user (if  you use username as git)
su - git

nano ~/.bash_profile

# -------- Make the following edits --------

# Change the PATH maybe you can fix ruby path or add your own system paths
PATH=$HOME/git/bin:$HOME/ruby/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin;

# -------- Save and close the file --------

[git@server~] nano ~/.bashrc

# -------- Make the following edits --------

# Add this to the bottom. It's redundant but it solves a problem when gitlab calls /usr/bin/env
# Be sure what did you use above.. use same paths again.
PATH=$HOME/git/bin:$HOME/ruby/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin;

# -------- Save and close the file --------

# Re-export your PATH Be sure what did you use above.. use same paths again.
[git@server~] PATH=$HOME/git/bin:$HOME/ruby/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin;

# Verify your using the right version of Ruby now
[git@server~] which ruby
~/ruby/bin/ruby

which ruby

/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/ruby

Found the solution. Thanks for the tips.
My solution:

• At https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/blob/master/init/sysvinit/centos/gitlab-unicorn#L44 change RVM_PATH="/usr/local/rvm/bin" to RVM_PATH="/usr/local/rvm"
• Create symbolic link

/usr/bin/ruby -> /usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/ruby

which ruby still /usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/ruby
but

Starting unicorn:                                          [  OK  ]
Starting sidekiq:                                          [  OK  ]

[axilleas]

Cool, I'll change the RVM_PATH in init script but there's got to be some other way to avoid the symbolic link and make this work seamlessly. Maybe add another variable with which ruby and then append this to the RUBY_PATH_PATCH. Leave this open to remind me make the change.

[ilkercapli]

@axilleas that sounds better I think :)

[axilleas]

The script has changed since you reported this and I think it handles rvm too. Closing.
