-Simply remove the following lines:
+Utilize [gitlab.conf](gitlab.conf) rather than [gitlab-ssl.conf](gitlab-ssl.conf). Running a production GitLab instance over plain text HTTP is not recommended.

+There are a few places in [gitlab-ssl.conf](gitlab-ssl.conf) which need to be customized for the GitLab installation.
1. `ServerName` is defined in two VirtualHosts. `ServerName` should be set to host name of the GitLab installation.
2. `SSLCertificateFile`, `SSLCertificateKeyFile`, and `SSLCACertificateFile` should be customized for signed certificates.
