[chef] Re: Initial problems with new install of Chef Server 11.0.6

[AJ Christensen < >]

The Opscode chef-server cookbook has a template for chef-server.rb;
this may be useful:
https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/chef-server/blob/master/templates/default/chef-server.rb.erb

We use this template to configure our chef-servers.

Cheers,

AJ
