Hello,
I'm trying to upgrade our Gitlab CE 8.14.3 to 9.1.10 by following support's suggestion here:

I'm already in step 4 but could not startup the Gitlab Omnibus 9.1.10. I get this error:

I have already tried cleaning the package manager using these commands:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get autoremove

Also removing and rebuild the package list

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get clean

But still could not run postgresql.

Thanks!

Hi @ramilr,

According to the error message you sent us, it looks like there is an issue starting PostgreSQL. Can you run the next command to check the error messages in the logs?

sudo cat /var/log/gitlab/postgresql/current

Hello @gongomgra,

Here are the logs:

By the way, can you confirm the steps I am doing for this upgrade if this is how it is done?

Backup Bitnami Gitlab CE 8.14.3 Instance
Install Omnibus Gitlab CE 8.14.3
Restore Bitnami Gitlab CE 8.14.3 backup to Omnibus Gitlab CE 8.14.3
Upgrade Omnibus Gitlab CE 8.14.3 to 9.1.10
Delete Bitnami Gitlab CE 8.14.3 and use Omnibus Gitlab CE 9.1.10 moving forward?

Thanks!

Hi @ramilr,

According to the error message you are getting, is it possible that you are using an small instance to run GitLab? Can you execute our support tool on the machine where the stack is running by following the steps described in the guide below?

Please note that you need to paste the code ID that is shown at the end.

Regarding the upgrade steps, I'm afraid we don't have any guide for updating GitLab. You will need to use the official steps linked below
