After upgradig the gitlab I am trying to change the gitlab admin setting as I am Administrator of my gitlab instance.But facing the below issue:

Application settings update failed.

The form contains the following errors:

• Help page documentation base url is blocked: execution expired

• Diagramsnet url is blocked: execution expired

• Public runner releases url is blocked: execution expired

  Please find the below image for reference:

I also tried to change the settings by using root user, but facing the same issue.

Answer 1

I am able to resolve my issue.

The solution is to run psql commands and directly change the boolean values for two of the properties. This is done via the gitlab-psql command.

gitlab-psql

update application_settings set diagramsnet_enabled=false;

update application_settings set update_runner_versions_enabled=false;

\q

sudo gitlab-ctl restart

Next delete the help page url manually from the application.
