[chef] Chef 10.18 to CHEF 11 upgrade problem

[Philippe Bérard < >]

I’m getting in a strange problem just after upgrading from chef 0.10.18 to chef 0.11.

 

I had CHEF installed through Ubuntu 12.04 regular packages and updated to CHEF by installing the “chef-server_11.0.4-1.ubuntu.12.04_amd64.deb” package, stopping rabbitmq and then launching “chef-server-ctl reconfigure”.

 

I had at first problem with chef-server-webui as my 10.18 installation was running through Apache 2 and the DEB install runs NGINX.

 

But, then, the old configuration is lost : no more cookbooks, databags, roles, environments and nodes.

 

Is it a normal situation, and I have to re-create or import all those elements, or is there any other robust path to follow to upgrade my 10.18 CHEF to 11 ? Thanks in advance.

Philippe-

 

I had a similar issue on CentOS 5.8. I haven't yet dug into the root cause (though I plan to) but I found that RabbitMQ was already running (outside of runit), so runit kept starting a second copy and failing.  I killed off the processes and ran chef-server-ctl reconfigure and all was well.

Personally, I have some big problems updating Chef Server from 10.18.2 to 11.04-1 on Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS : RabbitMQ doesn't want to start.

My environment is still in development, I believe the problem is not with version 11, but due to the tests I'm doing
