[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Deploying server under CentOS

• Another thing I found very very confusing was, the init.d scripts provided with the gem don't have a reasonable $CONFIG default. For the chef-solr-indexer it's "/etc/chef/solr-indexer.rb" and for the chef-server-webui it's "/etc/chef/webui.rb". The bootstrapping cookbook only creates solr.rb and server.rb config files. I think it'd make more sense if the scripts pointed to solr.rb and server.rb. It's not so hard to debug this one, but it was very unexpected.

I second the comment about the $CONFIG defaults.  I was bootstrapping on RedHat and ran into several problems but this one just seems like a bug in the bootstrap recipe.  I just copied the /etc/chef/solr.rb config file to /etc/chef/solr-indexer.rb - is that a reasonable workaround?

Other problems:

1. Unspecified dependency on runit (unless configured to use init).
2. Gem installation can put executables in different place from where the init scripts expect them.
3. service chef-solr stop doesn't.

If I have time I'll make patches &c.

Thanks,
