Nginx behind apache2 misconfiguration

Error log

gitlab bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)

Versions

GitLab 10.5.1
GitLab Shell 6.0.3
GitLab Workhorse v3.6.0
GitLab API v4
Ruby 2.3.6p384
Rails 4.2.10
postgresql 9.6.5

Problem

• /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb:

# nginx['enable'] = true
# nginx['client_max_body_size'] = '250m'
# nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = false
# nginx['redirect_http_to_https_port'] = 80

redirect_http_to_https default option is probably true or is ignored resulting in a nginx config record:

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

server {
  listen *:80;
  ...
}

which is in conflict with Apache

Solution

In /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb uncommented and changed nginx['redirect_http_to_https_port'] to another port
