GitLab (6.6.5) Omnibus configuration for PostgreSQL - gitlab

Question

ls -la /etc/gitlab/
-rwxrwxrwx 1 git git gitlab.rb
cat /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
# Disable the built-in Postgres
postgresql['enable'] = false
# Fill in the values for database.yml
gitlab_rails['db_adapter'] = 'postgresql'
gitlab_rails['db_encoding'] = 'unicode'
gitlab_rails['db_database'] = 'gitlab_db_name'
gitlab_rails['db_pool'] = 10
gitlab_rails['db_host'] = 'aws-RDShost.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com'
gitlab_rails['db_port'] = 5432
gitlab_rails['db_username'] = "gitlab_user"
gitlab_rails['db_password'] = 'mypass'
Now the problem is that 6.6.5 gitlab is not overwriting the database.rb file sitting at /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/etc/database.rb
