Re: Multiple chef-server instances on one server

[Adam Jacob <adam@opscode.com>]

Miguel,

You should be able to set two different server.rb files up with
different internal paths (for things like cookbooks, etc.)

Use a web server with virtual hosts and proxy support (Apache or
Nginx) to proxy between your two different chef instances, and give
the clients the name of the virtual host. (http://chef.test.cabeca.com
and http://chef.prod.cabeca.com)

If you are using an Opscode-style repository (with a Rakefile) you
will likely want to tweak that as well, to load two different
configurations depending on which environment needs to be updated.

Regards,
Adam
