Hi Jesse,

chef-server-webui is now working for me.

There was some permission issue with 

the private key which wasn't readable by

default user. After I rebooted the server, 

chef-server-webui service was seen under 

/etc/init.d/ directory.

Where can I find solo log ?

sudo find / -iname chef-solo

/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/chef-10.18.0/bin/chef-solo

/usr/bin/chef-solo

/tmp/chef-solo

Another issue which am having is w.r.t 

admin password. Every time I login it 

asks me change the password, even

though I changed it during first login.

I had modified server.rb file by appending

a line web_ui_admin_default_password "xyz"

It doesn't allow me to login.

if you don't have the build-essentials pieces, try adding that.
Otherwise, can you paste here or in a gist/pastebin the chef-solo log? This is how I deployed all three of our 10.16.2 chef servers on centos6.3 (centos loaded with the server/shell package group)

so you put this into a ~/chef.json file:

{

  "chef_server": {

    "server_url": "http://localhost:4000",

    "webui_enabled": true

  },

  "run_list": [ "recipe[chef-server::rubygems-install]" ]

}



and this in /etc/chef/solo.rb:


file_cache_path "/tmp/chef-solo"

cookbook_path "/tmp/chef-solo/cookbooks"




and then you ran:

sudo chef-solo -c /etc/chef/solo.rb -j ~/chef.json -r http://s3.amazonaws.com/chef-solo/bootstrap-latest.tar.gz



and it didn't install chef-server-webui?

I am installing it on CentOS 6.3.

I am installing via bootstrap method.

No, I am not installing the standalone installer.

What platform are you installing to, and what method did you use to install?

It sounds like you are not using the standalone installer (http://www.opscode.com/chef/install/, click on Chef Server)

Hi folks,

I was successfully able to install Chef-10.18.0 on a server.

My laptop is acting as client for that server.

I followed the instructions given on OpsCode wiki and 

landed to a situation where command line communication

via knife is OK. When I click on link for WebUI, the page

redirects to < server_ip:4040 > which can't be found.

Later, I found that the package itself is not installed, so I

installed it from here with the same version.

/etc/init.d/chef-server-webui service doesn't seem to reflect

in /etc/init.d directory. It means that even after doing a

gem install on chef-server-webui package service is not up.

Please let me know where am I going wrong ?

Thank you,
