[chef] Re: environment override attrs doesn't take precedence over node attributes

[Matthew Moretti < >]

I don't know if this is just a typo, but you show your override attribute as [apache2][listen_ports] and the default attribute is [apache][listen_ports] without the "2".

THe following is my environments/production.rb file

    override_attributes "apache2" => { "listen_ports" => [ "80", "443" ] }

And in the recipe cookbooks/application/recipes/mod_php_apache2.rb, there is

    node.default['apache']['listen_ports'] = [ "8080" ] at line 22

    

In the wiki http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Attributes, it says that the `environment override_attributes` will take the precedence over the node attributes. But in my every chef run, the port gets set to 8080 in the file `/etc/apache2/ports.conf`

Why is this?
