John,

Thank you for posting your script. This saved me considerable time.

However, I do want to post the issues I still encountered:

1) when running chef-solo, I got this error:

Running "/etc/init.d/chef-solr restart" manually did work, so I
restarted the chef-solo process. It now ended with success.

2) After that, I did a restart of 2 chef processes to workaround the
initial login problem:

/etc/init.d/chef-server restart
/etc/init.d/chef-server-webui restart

Login is now possible with the admin password listed in /etc/chef/server.rb.

That was it for me.
