[chef] services not starting when bootstrapping an EC2 instance....

[Maven User < >]

Hi all -

I'm struggling to put my finger on what's going wrong here.

I'm trying to bootstrap an ec2 instance, and even though I can ssh up
after the bootstrapping is complete and "sudo service <service> start"
it, the:

 service <service> do
     action :start
 end

bit doesn't start the service that the same recipe is deploying....

Any suggestions?
