gitlab 8.2.0 git not working - linux

Question

I installed gitlab 8.2.0 from source and followed the instructions on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/install/installation.
When I run the checks with
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
I get the following error:
Running /home/git/gitlab-shell/bin/check
Check GitLab API access: FAILED. code: 301
gitlab-shell self-check failed
Try fixing it:
Make sure GitLab is running;
Check the gitlab-shell configuration file:
sudo -u git -H editor /home/git/gitlab-shell/config.yml
Please fix the error above and rerun the checks.
Checking GitLab Shell ... Finished
Here is my config.yml file from /home/git/gitlab-shell:
user: git
gitlab_url: "http://www.example.com/gitlab"
http_settings:
#ca_path: /etc/ssl/certs
self_signed_cert: true
repos_path: "/home/git/repositories/"
auth_file: "/home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys"
redis:
bin: "/usr/bin/redis-cli"
namespace: resque:gitlab
socket: "/var/run/redis/redis.sock"
log_level: INFO
audit_usernames: false
Note that I am using the relative URL feature to run gitlab on www.example.com/gitlab. Also the server is behind a reverse proxy that terminates https to http if this should be of any relevance for this problem.
I also cant' push or pull any repositories. When I try to I get the following error:
git pull https://www.example.com/gitlab/test/testproject.git
Username for 'https://www.example.com': test
Password for 'https://test#www.example.com':
fatal: Couldn't find remote ref HEAD
Unexpected end of command stream
I also can't add any files to any project via the webUI. If I try to do so I get the following error
Commit was rejected by pre-receive hook
The log for this from production.log looks as follows:

I think you could try switching gitlab_url: "http://www.example.com/gitlab" to https -> gitlab_url: "https://www.example.com/gitlab"
Not sure if its a complete fix but its a recomendations.
EDIT:
config.yml line 4 should look like
ca_path: "/etc/ssl/certs"
