[chef] Documentation on How to Rename Your Chef Server Host?

[Kenneth Stailey < >]

Hi,

It appears that renaming a Chef server host is non-trivial.

I didn't get into it, just causally noticed that RabbitMQ falls over and dies 
if the host name is changed.

The remediation for that is in Section 6.9 of the RabbitMQ docs, search for 
"change_node_name".  Here's a link to the page:

http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/mnesia/Mnesia_chap7.html#id74479

The mere 25-lines-or-so of Erlang listed there should fix up everything 
nicely.

Is there a complete list of pitfalls and steps necessary when renaming your 
Chef server host anywhere?

Thanks,
Ken
