How to install gitlab separate on centos7? - apache

Question

I wish to install gitlab on my Centos 7 server. But I need to separate the gitlab and apache folder. That is when I type localhost should get the index page in HTML folder and when I type git.example.com should get the gitlab page. Is there any way to do this? Please help me, anyone.

Might not be the best solution, but what I did was to set a "front NGINX" to proxy my 3 services: Apache (at www), Redmine (at issues) and GitLab (at git)
Then I configured my Apache to listen on another port (say 808). And my GitLab to listen on its own port (say 809).
And I added a server configuration in NGINX with a proxypass using something like this:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.com;
location / {
access_log off;
proxy_pass http://localhost:808;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
and one for the GitLab as:
server {
listen 80;
server_name git.example.com;
location / {
access_log off;
proxy_pass http://localhost:809;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
error_page 502 /502.html;
location = /502.html {
root /opt/gitlab/error_pages;
}
}
