Sorted it out... was a problem with solr not working right.

Sorry for the noise :)

So with some help from tigris on #chef, I got the config mostly sorted out.

However, when I do a chef-client run on the node, I now get:

Any idea what might be going on? I'm not sure what it's trying to retrieve so I'm not sure which log to look into. I was having some stability problems so I moved from the deb setup to gem setup recently, but I can look at the web UI and use knife node list, knife role list, etc. just fine.

Thanks!

Thanks, but I'm a bit more used to Puppet. Where can I put the actual file in Chef to push it to the node? I'd like to autoconfigure the node completely with Chef. Does that go in a databag, or a template, or?

Check out the cookbook_file resource: http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Resources#Resources-CookbookFile. I think that does what you want. You could also use template, which gives you the ability to vary some of the file contents based on node attributes or variables in your recipe, etc. 

Still trying to get bootstrapped myself :) Too bad there's know "knife-person bootstrap"...

I've got the nginx cookbook in place now, but I'm a little fuzzy on how to proceed next. I bootstrapped a node and it configured nginx with all the defaults. I wrote my own config block which I would like to either:

• place in /etc/nginx/sites-available
• create a symlink to it in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
• disable the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default symlink

You can drop a file in /etc/nginx/sites-available, and then use

    nginx_site "name-of-your-file-in-sites-available" do

      enable true

    end

to have Chef enable the site for you (reloading nginx's configuration as appropriate)

Or, to just replace the default config block directly and save the hassle of mucking around with multiple files.

What's the best way to go about this?

Recent versions of the nginx cookbook have an attribute node["nginx"]["default_site_enabled"] which you can set to false to disable the default site. You can then use the above recommendation to institute your own default site. You can set this from a recipe, role, environment, etc.
