[chef] Re: Re: Re: Chef Server not finding require entries in init.rb

Thank you Jesse, for your reply.

Sorry about the slowness on my end.  I've been multitasking a lot lately.

I have always been more interested in working down in the nitty-gritty to get a better feel for how it all fits together, especially when there are so many pieces involved.

I'll take a look at the automated installer next week.

I would still like to know what entries I should add to init.rb to make it find those items listed in the require entries.  They are there, but the Server fails to start, because it does not find them.  I even set logging to debug, but it fails so early, it does not even make it's first entry in the log.

and to be more clear, by automated installer I mean this: http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Installing+Chef+Server+using+Chef+Solo

is there a reason you don't want to use the automated installer?

BTW, when following the Installing Chef Server Manually Web Page, here are
things I did:

Debian and Ubuntu use apt-get, CentOS uses yum.

couchdb and rabbitmq installation went just like indicated.

Java, zlib, and libxml are installed normally on these hosts so I skipped those
steps.

Adding the Opscode APT Repository is very Debian and Ubuntu specific.  Web site
http://apt.opscode.com/ does not address CentOS, so I did not even create the
/etc/apt/sources.list.d subdir.

I did add the GPG Key and update index so /etc/apt has one file in it.

I built and installed gecode from source with no errors.  It's nice it uses
configure to make it architecture independent.

Installed chef-server and chef-webui as indicated with no problems.

Still having trouble figuring out how to get chef-server to find all the
requires listed in it's
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/chef-server-api-10.16.2/config/init.rb file.
They are on the host, chef-server is just not seeing them.

New ideas to pursue here would be greatly appreciated.
