[chef] Problem installing latest chef-server

[Yann KLIS <yann.klis@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I'm following this documentation to install chef-server : http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Installation

But I'm encountering some strange errors.

When I'm at the step "sudo chef-solo -c ~/solo.rb -j ~/chef.json -r http://s3.amazonaws.com/chef-solo/bootstrap-latest.tar.gz", I get the following error : 

rails@ubuntu1:~$ sudo chef-solo -c ~/solo.rb -j ~/chef.json -r http://s3.amazonaws.com/chef-solo/bootstrap-0.7.0.tar.gz

So, it seems that there's a problem with the installation of runit. I installed it with "apt-get install runit". But I keep getting the same error.

I use Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu 9.04, and I've also tried with http://s3.amazonaws.com/chef-solo/bootstrap-latest.tar.gz without success...

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance,
