[chef] Re: managing custom apache configs chef

[Adam Wilbraham < >]

Are you using chef's environments functionality or just wanting to
rely on a a file on the server?

I use Chef's environments to dictate which data bag to use in some
situations - based on that logic you could call a bash function I
guess:

 # pull the data we need from the encrypted data bag
 secrets_bag = "#{[node.chef_environment]}-secrets"
 Chef::Log.info("Based on the environment I'm using #{secrets_bag} as
the secrets data bag")


There is probably a cleaner way to achieve your end result though -
you probably want something a little more programmatic in your
httpd.conf.erb template which check's the environment and sets the
value based on that, rather than relying on bash / sed.
