This is driving me insane!!
I'm running a web server on Ubuntu 18.04, and using plain ol Apache2. I've done countless searches and it all points to servers running other platforms, never the basic Apache2 system.
I have been trying to get the websites on my server going (virtual hosts) and have been having nothing but trouble getting each one to show when typing the url.
Anyway, I've been doing some tweaking here and there going by other suggestions here, and unfortunately, haven't kept track of what I have done. My memory is horrible due to some old man conditions I have, so I just can't remember where it all went wrong.
Here's what's happening:
All of my sites had been going to the same page on my server. But now, every site just brings up a blank page with
Invalid Host header
at the top left of the page.
That's it! I have gone through every error log on my system to no avail. All of the logs are showing the basics.
Here's the last line or two of each:

That's...it! The system logs aren't showing anything Apache based.
The only thing I can figure out that's remotely close is it's trying to run in SSL, and I don't have SSL set up yet.
So I'm clueless! And ANY help would be HUGELY appreciated!!! I'm disabled and unable to leave home most of the time, so this is all I got to keep me busy. It's just a hobby, but an important one to me.
Thanks!!!
FIXED IT!!! lol
Turns out the problem wasn't with my server at all. It was my router's port forwarding!
I use Google Home stuff and Google Wi-Fi points. I don't recall their names atm, but they're Google. (Probably a red flag right there! lol)
Anyway, I have two IP Addresses on my server (I'm not doing any mail or dns stuff, so really just need one). I had them both pointing towards different websites. And herein lies the issue.
My main IP for the server was 192.XXX.XXX.200, and the second was 192.XXX.XXX.202. But I wasn't pointing them correctly. They both needed to point to port 80. I had .200 pointing to 80 and .202 pointing to 8080. So there was some confusion when setting up my virtual hosts. Something happened, I don't remember what, that made me decide to use .202 as the primary IP for vHosts. Then in my /etc/hosts file, I used both IP's going to the same location - let's say example.com.
So, all I can think of is that the sites weren't seeing the .202 and using the .200 since it was first on the list. And the "Invalid Host Header" was showing up due to the IP address confusion.
So, I just removed the .200 from all the settings, removed the port forwarding for it and set .202 to use ports 80 and 8080, 10000 for Webmin (cool little script if you want to monitor things away from home), 25, yadda. The sites came right up!
I still have some cleaning up to do with everything that I have tried, but at least THAT issue is done and gone! And I also know that "Invalid Host Header" will come up for many reasons depending on the platform you are using. So this is just one thing for people to check when frantically trying to get their websites back up!
Thanks for all the responses with great help!
I upgraded gitlal omnibus from gitlab-ce-12.0.2-ce.0.el7.x86_64 to gitlab-ce-12.0.3-ce.0.el7.x86_64.
Post which when I launch the URL http://10.28.19.103:8080 it redirects to http://10.28.19.103:8080/users/sign_in.
In that I only see a sign in btn. Upon clicking nothing happens. I have no space to enter to enter username and password.
The logs are as below:

I took a backup of the current repositories, installed a new GIT on temp VM. Imported the above repository.
But again I faced the same problem.
Please help.
You should not be accessing GitLab via port 8080. That's Unicorn, and it shouldn't be listening externally by default. You should access GitLab via port 80 or 443 through Nginx.
If you've set Unicorn to listen on port 8080 on something other than localhost, I suggest setting that back to default and accessing via the configured external URL (which should be port 80 or 443).
I've managed to migrate gitlab-CE 8.1 to 8.2, but I get an annoying issue.
Everytime I try to create an issue, I get this error:
==> /var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/production.log <==
Started POST "/api/api/issues" for 93.93.xx.xxx at 2015-12-15 15:05:13 +0100

It only occurs on this project. Do you have any idea where it comes from?
For information, I use a custom nginx.
Thanks,
Edit: To give more details, I have a white page like this when creating the issue.
I have built and run Rendr's example apps on Ubuntu 13.10 using Node v0.8.6. When I click on the Repos or Users links, I get an HTTP 502 - Bad Gateway error, but when I refresh page (load from server) it works (200 - OK) and the repos or users are displayed
Here is server output for the working case - (page refresh):
127.0.0.1 - - [Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:47:56 GMT] "GET /repos HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/32.0.1700.102 Chrome/32.0.1700.102
Safari/537.36"
And here is the failure case - (link navigation):
127.0.0.1 - - [Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:48:07 GMT] "GET /api/-/users HTTP/1.1" 502 - "http://localhost:3030/users" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux

Chromium/32.0.1700.102 Chrome/32.0.1700.102 Safari/537.36"
Any ideas or pointers to what the problem might be?
Thanks.
The solution for this problem is here: https://github.com/airbnb/rendr/issues/266
I don't want to see a log for every request the server receives when I'm testing (it makes reading the results much harder). Is there a simple way to start up Node so that it doesn't do that?
I'm referring the the lines that look like this just to be perfectly clear:
127.0.0.1 - - [Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:59:52 GMT] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1039 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 Chrome/10.0.613.0 Safari/534.15 Zombie.js/1.4.1"
NodeJS does not do this automatically.
Assuming you are using express, you need to remove the logger middleware. Remove this line:
app.use(express.logger());
