Hi Geoff,
check out these 3 screencasts... the author Mat Schaffer uses the knife-solo to bootstrap a vanilla machine, then some other method to get the chef-server up and going. Make sure you check out the notes of each episode.
Good Luck

Hi all,

Having now coded my entire infrastructure, I am practicing installing it from scratch.

Ideally this should be all automatic (after all that is the point of chef) -  however I cant seem to install a chef-server automatically.

The instructions on the chef wiki mention 3 ways to install, but ALL involve manual steps.
For example, the debian way requires interactivity to setup, and then you need to run knife configure -i at the end.

The bootstrap method seems to be the same - there are manual steps. 

I know there is a chef-server cookbook, but then I have to have a chef-server already installed to install it (dont I?)

Can someone point me to a way of genuinely automatically installing chef-server, with no manual steps? (Other than say the initial command)

Thanks
