Hi,

I followed the instructions at https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/stable/doc/installation.md exactly (mostly copy/pasted the commands) and in the Step 4, for "Check application status" , I get the output:

I noticed that in the instructions right above that step, it is mentioned that the post-receive file should be copied to /home/git/.gitolite/hooks/common/, however, in the OUTPUT EXAMPLE from the instructions the path is /home/git/share/gitolite/hooks/common/post-receive -- is that the issue ?

I'd really like to try gitlab out, so any assistance would be appreciated.

cheers, ~steve
