I have gitlab and mattermost omnibus installation on CentOS7.

**1. I try to “wget [http://127.0.0.1:8065/team1/](http://127.0.0.1:8065/team1/)” → OK … show login page**  
**2. I try to “wget [http://127.0.0.1:8065/team1/channels/town-square](http://127.0.0.1:8065/team1/channels/town-square)” … … connection established but waiting for** response sooo long

In another server I have installed only mattermost from source with same version and configuration and

**1. OK … show login page**  
**2. OK … show login page**

Can you help me? or is a bug

Hello there.

I can confirm that both commands works fine on my end as per the following output that I am getting from my Terminal:
