gitlab-ctl reconfigure fails on database setup

Hi, I just set up a new instance of my OpenVZ Debian Wheezy server and wanted to run gitlab on it. I followed the steps here: https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/

Up to the point where it says to run reconfigure. The installation got stuck at: ruby_block[supervise_redis_sleep] action run

So I googled and found out I need to do this:

Some variants of Debian 7 (e.g. OpenVZ) use Upstart. This will trip up gitlab-ctl reconfigure at ruby_block[supervise_redis_sleep] action run, because the internal Runit cookbook assumes that Debian 7 uses inittab. You can work around this as follows.

sudo cp /opt/gitlab/embedded/cookbooks/runit/files/default/gitlab-runsvdir.conf /etc/init/
sudo initctl start gitlab-runsvdir
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure # Resume gitlab-ctl reconfigure

After this the installation did not hang anymore. However now I get this error:

Recipe: gitlab::nginx
  * ruby_block[reload nginx svlogd configuration] action create
	- execute the ruby block reload nginx svlogd configuration

Recipe: gitlab::logrotate
  * ruby_block[reload logrotate svlogd configuration] action create
	- execute the ruby block reload logrotate svlogd configuration

And I can't seem to solve it. It always fails to set up the database :/ My OpenVZ instance can use 2 GB of RAM.

This is the output of /opt/gitlab/embedded/cookbooks/cache/chef-stacktrace.out:
