Running redis using upstart on Ubuntu

I've been trying to understand how to setup systems from the ground up on Ubuntu. I just installed redis onto the box and here's how I did it and some things to look out for.

To install:

Step 1

Get a VPS that offers 2 or more IP addresses.

Step 2

From the WHM cPanel, find the menu item Service Configuration, select Apache Configuration and then click on Reserved IPs Editor.

	user app app;
	#user nobody;
	worker_processes 6;

	error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
	pid /var/log/nginx/nginx.pid;

	events {
	worker_connections 1024;
	}

	// geo-location shim

	// currentely only serves lat/long
	// depends on jQuery

	// doublecheck the ClientLocation results because it may returning null results

	;(function(geolocation){

	if (geolocation) return;

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	# where do you want couchdb and its deps to be installed
	COUCHDB_PREFIX="/opt/couchdb-1.0.1"

	# Let's determine the correct arcitecture and choose the installer
	if [ "`uname -m`" = "x86_64" ]; then
	echo "Using 64-bit installer"
	COUCHDB_INSTALLER_DOC_ID="26f246a0fe23d6a53d5326713308f43c"
	COUCHDB_INSTALLER_BIN="install-couchdb-1.0.1_rel1-linux-x64.bin"

	// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
	// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
	// ----------------------------------------------------------
	// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then:
	// ie === undefined
	// If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version:
	// ie === 7; // IE7
	// Thus, to detect IE:
	// if (ie) {}

	['java', '-jar', 'yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar', '--type=css'],
	stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE

	var http = require("http"),
	url = require("url"),
	path = require("path"),
	fs = require("fs")
	port = process.argv[2] \|\| 8888;

	http.createServer(function(request, response) {

	var uri = url.parse(request.url).pathname
	, filename = path.join(process.cwd(), uri);
