These are the contributing guidelines for omnibus-gitlab issues and merge
requests.

## General guidelines

If you are experiencing problems during GitLab package installation or have issues with package configuration please create an issue that includes the following:

- Include the omnibus-gitlab version when discussing behavior: `dpkg-query -W
  gitlab` or `rpm -q gitlab`.
- Be careful when pasting log output of `gitlab-ctl reconfigure`; Chef happily
  writes secrets to the log.

#### For problems not related to package installation and configuration check ways to get help [at GitLab website.](https://about.gitlab.com/getting-help/)

## Merge request guidelines

- Please add a CHANGELOG entry for your contribution
- Have a look at the [development tips and tricks](doc/development.md)

This can be the case when installation and `gitlab-ctl reconfigure` run went without issues but your GitLab instance is still giving 500 error page with an error in the log.

Thanks for reporting this issue. I suspect that the issue you are experiencing is not related to the package or configuration of the package itself. Omnibus-gitlab repository is used for packaging GitLab. Since this looks like a problem not related to the packaging please check
[how to get help](https://about.gitlab.com/getting-help/) for your issue. I will close this issue but if you still think this is a problem with the package please @ mention me with the steps to reproduce the problem and I will reopen the issue.
