title: Bitnami: How to configure GitLab 5.0 application in Apache2 not to have relative root?
body: <p>(Or how to make GitLab application as root application on Apache2 HTTP server. )</p>
  
  <p>I have not used Apache2 before, but I got <a href="http://bitnami.com/stack/gitlab/virtual-machine" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Bitnami GitLab VM</a> with preinstalled server.</p>
  
  <p>I and run into issues, because application root is relative.

  <p>The fix is to not using relative root, but run GitLab application as root on Apache2 HTTP server.</p>
  
  <p>I have found configuration files location using <a href="http://wiki.bitnami.com/Components/Apache?highlight=apache" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Bitnami wiki for Apache component</a>:</p>
  
  <p>1) <code>/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/httpd.conf</code> is absent.</p>
  
  <p>2) Apache2 config for GitLab aplication: <code>gitlab.conf</code></p>
