Installation guide should mention to change the path to gitlab in the nginx/sites-available/gitlab
I'm referring to this guide: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/7-5-stable/doc/install/installation.md
The following lines (352-356) could be improved:
Make sure to edit the config file to match your setup:
# Change YOUR_SERVER_FQDN to the fully-qualified
# domain name of your host serving GitLab.
sudo editor /etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab
by reminding the user to also match the paths to gitlab, especially if installing for a different user than 'git'. The comments in lines 354-355 made me think to only change the FQDN, so I completely overlooked 3 lines pointing at /home/git/.
