I have a pretty big gitlab repository that got stuck on version 6.7.2. I recently decided to update it to 8.4.2 to deal with some annoying bugs. I followed exactly these steps: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/doc/update/README.md#updating-from-gitlab-66-and-higher-to-the-latest-version
During the installation of the new version debian, I had some errors in the migration step, you can see the log here: http://pastebin.com/Cx8WNzfB Executing gitlab-rake db:migrate:status would show over half the tasks as *down*. I thought maybe it was a too big migration, so I restored 6.7.2, restored the database with the backup I had and installed omnibus 7.10.0, without errors, and then 8.4.2 without errors. But now I cannot connect to gitlab web interface.

Any ideas on how to proceed? I am working on a copy of my real repository, I can start over from scratch if there's a better way of migrating from 6.7.2 to 8.4.2. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitLab" group.
