[chef] RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: Chef Server bootstrap fails on CentOS 6.2

["Van Fossan,Randy" < >]

Chris,

I tried changing the setting below and it did not work..   I wanted to make sure that it could communicate correctly with the parameters you specified before pointing it to a new server.   What am I missing?

 

/etc/couchdb/local.ini

[httpd]

port = 5984

bind_address = ip_of_current_chefserver  (note this is currently the same server)

; Uncomment next line to trigger basic-auth popup on unauthorized requests.

;WWW-Authenticate = Basic realm="administrator"

 

# cat /etc/chef/server.rb

log_level          :info

log_location       STDOUT

ssl_verify_mode    :verify_none

chef_server_url    "http://mychef.myco.org:4000"

 

signing_ca_path    "/var/chef/ca"

couchdb_url        "http:// mychef.myco.org:5984"

couchdb_database   'chef'

 

 

Thanks

  Randy

We had problems with Couchdb on Centos 5.x as well, so we split it off along with rabbit/solr/expander to an Ubuntu node. To point the API at the new node you'll need to make sure the Couch binds to the network interface not just the loopback. You'll also need to change server.rb and add couchdb_url "http://couchdbserver:5984". 

If you split off solr/rabbit you need to add:

 

solr_url "http://solrserver:8983

 

ampq_host 

ampq_port

ampq_user

ampq_pass

ampq_vhost

I suppose, I could split it off.   I do not know exactly what I would need to change to point the chef-server to the new couchdb server.   I am not sure what to do for rabbitmq-server either.

 

Please advise.

Is there any reason you couldn't split off Couchdb?

Run the API/UI/Solr/Expander on your Centos 5.7 node and Couchdb on the 6.2 node.

Has anyone gotten chef-server 0.10.8 installed on CentOS6.x ?   I have tried and tried and have no luck in getting it installed and running correctly.   I have followed the WIKI steps and no luck.   We do currently have a chef-server on CentOS 5.7 but are having issues with couchdb and a few other items.   We can get couchdb to work correctly on CentOS 6.x

 

I guess, I will use the rbel repo (RHEL 6) install (chef 0.10.6 and couchdb 0.11.2) and then upgrade couchdb from the epel repos.  Then finally upgrading chef with gem upgrade..

 

This is really a pain.  Trying to get a stable chef-server installed on CentOS 6.2.. 

 

Anyone else have this kind of trouble on CentOS 6.2?

 

Randy

I am not sure that’s the issue.  The services all start ok.    The links also look ok.

The bootstrap method for installing chef-server is not working on CentOS 6.2.   I have tried 4 times now.     I have tried manually installing ruby 1.9.2-p290 and gems.  I have also tried using ruby that comes with CentOS 6.x and then installing the gems and it will not work.

Also of note is that after erlang is installed RabbitMQ-server will not start until the server is rebooted.   I then rerun the bootstrap and it runs to completion, but you can never get logged into the server's webui or connect via knife.   The ports are showing up (checked with netstat)

/var/log/chef/server.log
See ->  http://pastie.org/3523373

I then stopped the chef-server and chef-server-webui and started the chef-server on the command line..
If I try and start the chef-server on the command line, I get the following text..
