[DRE-maint] Bug#815465: gitlab wiki content doesn't show up

[Johannes Schauer]

Package: gitlab
Version: 8.4.3+dfsg-9
Severity: normal

Hi,

please have a look at my gitlab instance running 8.4.3+dfsg-9 at:

https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/debian-bootstrap/botch/wikis/home

You will see, that the content of the page does not show up. You can
clone the wiki's git as

git clone http://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/debian-bootstrap/botch.wiki.git

and convince yourself that the content actually exists.

Once I login and edit the pages I also see the content that should be
there in the edit text box and I also can get a preview.

Just after saving the changes, the page content will still not show up.

I also created a new page there called "test" to see if the same problem
happens only with older pages or also with newer ones. As you can see,
the page should contain the content "test content" but it does not show
up.

I did not do any configurations (in /etc or otherwise) after having
installed 8.4.3+dfsg-9 from scratch (after purging the old version and
rm -rf /var/lib/gitlab and /usr/share/gitlab). The only things I
retained from my old version were:

 - the database
 - /var/lib/gitlab/repositories
 - /var/lib/gitlab/uploads
 - /var/lib/gitlab/.ssh

Any hints of why the wiki doesn't work?

If you can reproduce this problem with a fresh installation, then maybe
together with issues not working properly (see bug #814871) this version
should not migrate to testing yet? I feel that issue pages and the wiki
are essential parts of a gitlab installation and should be working in
testing.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
