+
+#### Setup time zone (optional)
+
+Consider setting the time zone in `gitlab.yml` otherwise GitLab will default to UTC. If you set a time zone previously in [`application.rb`](config/application.rb) (unlikely), unset it.
+
+### 6. Start application
+
+    sudo service gitlab start
+    sudo service nginx restart
+
+### 7. Check application status
+
+Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
+
+    sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production
+
+To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check with:
+
+    sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
+
+If all items are green, then congratulations upgrade is complete!
+
+### 8. GitHub settings (if applicable)
+
+If you are using GitHub as an OAuth provider for authentication, you should change the callback URL so that it 
+only contains a root URL (ex. `https://gitlab.example.com/`)
