[SOLVED] Nginx shows welcome page instead of gitlab page

AngelBePro · 2024-07-06 19:28:13

I am trying to set up gitlab with nginx, but every time I try to visit the root of my domain, i see the welcome to nginx page. I am migrating from apache as my web server to nginx. I still don't know exactly how to configure but this is what my config files are like. I also followed the arch wiki, but I think its outdated since http2 is a directive and in the config example its not.
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

#user http;
worker_processes  1;

#error_log  logs/error.log;
#error_log  logs/error.log  notice;
#error_log  logs/error.log  info;

#pid        logs/nginx.pid;


events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    #log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
    #                  '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
    #                  '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    #access_log  logs/access.log  main;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    server {

        location / {

Turns out it was gitlab-workhorse that was not working properly. I just did systemctl restart gitlab-workhorse and the issue went away.
