Debian 7 - Update gitlab-shell to 1.9.6 from 1.9.5

Question

I'm setting up a Gitlab on a Debian Server 7.6

When executing this:

# bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production

Output:

Instance method "lock!" is already defined in ActiveRecord::Base, use generic helper instead or set StateMachine::Machine.ignore_method_conflicts = true.

Answer 1

It looks like you just need to update gitlab-shell, can be accomplished with the following set of commands:

git clone https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-shell.git
cp config.yml.example config.yml
vim config.yml

make sure you replace gitlab_url with your desired URL

sudo -u git -H ./bin/install

Note that it looks like you're doing quite a bit as root that would be better of done as user "git", hence some of the warnings you're getting. While this link is a little dated, it may be useful to help you see how to do this as user "git" rather than root.
