Im trying to stand up omni server within vagrant, but I want to forward  high ports from my host to the omni ui. When I do this the omni server is redirecting my requests to port 8443 and squashing the request (actually i think the login page generates a non relative login button). Anyhow The short/quick fix is to configure omni chef to use some high port for the api/webui stuff. I looked around, and cant find where to set the desired port in omni chef-server. Maybe someone can enlighten me?

I just "fixed" it with an ipfw rule for now, but that i consider to be a bigger hack :)

Thanks,

After installing the package, but before running `chef-server-ctl reconfigure`, you can tweak chef-server settings in /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb -- these become attributes in the chef-solo run that configures the installation.

In your case, these are the relevant settings:

nginx['ssl_port'] = 443

nginx['non_ssl_port'] = 80

The cookbooks are here: https://github.com/opscode/omnibus-chef/tree/master/files/chef-server-cookbooks if you want to look further.
