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

[Mike Bailey < >]

Thanks for the script. It's nice to have an automated (and human readable) script to install chef.

My initial password is still not working for the webui so I'm stuck. I've changed it in /etc/chef/server.rb and restarted the webui to no avail.

How did you fix the 'lost admin password' problem?

thanks,

Mike

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.
