[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Search not working on new OSS chef server install

Hi,

I had a chef search problem as well just last week.  Turned out to be a rabbitmq issue, as it wasn't properly delivering the messages between the expander and solr.  Here is the thread: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.chef.user/7305

The last comment are my steps to fix.  Hope this turns out to work for you.

chef expander is running, couldn't get the command Gourav pasted to work, but "ps aux | grep chef-expander" returns:

ok. the problem I had with chef server on ubuntu 12.04 was two versions of eventmachine gem which were conflicting and not letting chef-expander start.  This was causing serarch to return zero results. 

you could check the eventmachine versions with  

gem list eventmachine 

I had two of those installed, 0.12.10 and 1.0.0. Uninstalling the later using following command, and restarting chef-expander resolved my problem. 

        sudo gem uninstall eventmachine --version 1.0.0 

Thanks
