Configure gitlab in ubuntu

install_gitlab

Basically just Follow the install instructions in https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/stable/doc/installation.md.

If you encounter problems, check this:

1. If the system complains about pid files in the very last step, change 'restart' to 'start'. 
If it doesn't work, use 'sudo ./resque.sh' in Step 6.

2. I encountered 502 Bad Gateway error. Solution is in https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/gitlabhq/u9AMESyd-N0
Restart the server after the modification.

3. Default user/password is
email => "admin@local.host"
password => "5iveL!fe"

4. If email sending is not working, check https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/1068#issuecomment-6904135.

5. To change the hostname from localhost, check https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/638.
