[chef] issues with chef-server install + script that automatically installs chef-server for you

[Joe Van Dyk < >]

http://fixieconsulting.com/chef-server.sh details the steps I had to
do to make chef-server install automatically on ubuntu 9.04 server.

Few problems:

1)  The chef-solo run would freeze after couchdb was installed.  It
might be an issue with the startup?  Problem went away if couchdb was
installed ahead of time.

2)  The merb-slices gem wasn't installed (the wiki said to install
chef and ohai gems).  The chef-server's webapp couldn't start until
that gem was installed.

3)  I had to enable the universe repository.

Anyways, from a bare install of ubuntu 9.04 server, I could do:
$ wget http://fixieconsulting.com/chef-server.sh
$ sh chef-server.sh

And type in my full hostname and my openid and everything was
automatically downloaded and installed for me.
