Problems installing fresh gitlab on Ubuntu 12.04

Created by: rnveach

I am on Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit. I am using the instructions at https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/8-4-stable/doc/install/installation.md .

I have completed everything up to number 5, and am on number 6, installing Redis. I ran sudo ./install_server.sh and it failed because it couldn't find the redis executable.

Please select the data directory for this instance [/var/lib/redis/6379] 
Selected default - /var/lib/redis/6379
Please select the redis executable path [] 
Mmmmm...  it seems like you don't have a redis executable. Did you run make install yet?

Since there was nothing in the instructions about this, I followed what the program said and ran sudo make install instead of what the instructions said make and this is what happened.

ricky@ricky-PowerEdge-840:/tmp/redis-2.8.23$ sudo make install
cd src && make install
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/redis-2.8.23/src'

Hint: It's a good idea to run 'make test' ;)

    INSTALL install
    INSTALL install
    INSTALL install
    INSTALL install
    INSTALL install
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/redis-2.8.23/src'
ricky@ricky-PowerEdge-840:/tmp/redis-2.8.23$ cd utils
ricky@ricky-PowerEdge-840:/tmp/redis-2.8.23/utils$ sudo ./install_server.sh
Welcome to the redis service installer
This script will help you easily set up a running redis server

Please select the redis port for this instance: [6379] 
Selecting default: 6379
Please select the redis config file name [/etc/redis/6379.conf] 
Selected default - /etc/redis/6379.conf
Please select the redis log file name [/var/log/redis_6379.log] 
Selected default - /var/log/redis_6379.log
Please select the data directory for this instance [/var/lib/redis/6379] 
Selected default - /var/lib/redis/6379
Please select the redis executable path [/usr/local/bin/redis-server] 
Selected config:
Port           : 6379
Config file    : /etc/redis/6379.conf
Log file       : /var/log/redis_6379.log
Data dir       : /var/lib/redis/6379
Executable     : /usr/local/bin/redis-server
Cli Executable : /usr/local/bin/redis-cli
Is this ok? Then press ENTER to go on or Ctrl-C to abort.
Copied /tmp/6379.conf => /etc/init.d/redis_6379

ricky@ricky-PowerEdge-840:/tmp/redis-2.8.23/utils$ sudo cp /etc/redis/redis.conf /etc/redis/redis.conf.orig
cp: cannot stat `/etc/redis/redis.conf': No such file or directory

As you can see, the next instruction's command failed as the file doesn't exist. The only file in that directory is '6379.conf'. I am lost on how to continue and need some guidance.
