How can I get Gitlab 6.5 to show its icons under a Apache 2.4 proxy?

Question

I cannot fix the icons on Gitlab bring proxied by Apache 2.4. My failure may be because I am not using passenger (passenger provided its own set of problems that were much deep

Basically it's saying to run a rake assets:clean and then a assets:precompile and then a service gitlab restart

I had precompiled my assets, checked the public/assets folder and could see they existed but some icons were not showing so I cleaned them out, precompiled again and restarted it then they started showing up.

Run

sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:clean RAILS_ENV=production

Then

sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT=/gitlab

And refresh the page, if it's not working try

sudo service gitlab restart

But I looked in my history there now and I couldn't see myself restarting it so I am assuming that when this happened to me I simply cleaned them out and precompiled them again and I didn't have to restart.
