Checking Sidekiq … Finished </code> * You have to create the pids} folder, while in gitlab}:

sudo -u gitlab -H mkdir tmp/pids/
sudo chmod -R u+rwX  tmp/pids/

* And then restart sidekiq:<code> sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake sidekiq:start RAILS_ENV=production </code> * I use Apache in conjunction with unicorn. Configure unicorn to listen to TCP connections:

#listen 8080 # listen to port 8080 on all TCP interfaces
listen "127.0.0.1:8080"  # listen to port 8080 on the loopback interface
listen "#{app_dir}/tmp/sockets/gitlab.socket"

** Configure Apache in conjunction with unicorn:
