Re: Server fails to start (chef-server-0.7.2)

[Mike Bailey <mike@bailey.net.au>]

I rebuilt the slice using intrepid and followed the instructions to the letter but it hung on:

[Thu, 25 Jun 2009 06:17:11 +0000] INFO: Installing package[couchdb] version 0.8.0-1

I'm giving a talk on the Chef to the Melbourne Ruby group so I've been trying to get it working again before then. :-)

It's OK, I need to head out now. I have a spare chef server at home and have setup forwarding from my router so I can demo using that tonight.

I'll try out your change ASAP.

Hi Mike,

If you could please cd /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/gems/1.8/gems/chef-server-0.7.2/config/enviroments

then open up production.rb

line 6,

  c[:log_file] = '/var/log/chef/server.log'

I tried initially c[:log_file] = Chef::Config[:log_location].to_s

Also should work, I'm not sure which one is cleaner or the other.

I'm not sure if there's a ticket open on this; however if there isn't there should be one.

The same installation script that worked for me previously is broken with 0.7.2

Here's the server (showing errors): https://chef.failmode.com/

Any ideas?
