[chef] Re: EC2 AMI with chef-server installed

[John Merrells < >]

It took me a few hours to get my first chef server up and running.

(I found the wiki to be quite confusing. Fewer links and a diagram would have 
helped.)

This is what I did for ubuntu 9.10. Even then I had to contend with the 'lost 
admin password' a couple of times.

I'm in a pretty happy place now, with server, client and knife working.... 
trying to get to grips with the cookbooks now... apache2 openid doesn't seem 
to work for me.
