this is awesome. do we need to run only chef-server-ctl reload after changing these values? or chef-server-ctl reconfigure?

`reconfigure` is the one you want here--it writes out config files for component services and restarts them.

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.

I've installed Chef Server 11.0.6 and Chef 11.4.0 onto Ubuntu 12.04.2 and am

now trying to get things configured. The server has a DNS CNAME I'd like to

associate with all chef related tasks, lets call it chef.cname.domain.org.

When I run 'chef-server-ctl show-config' I see that I have my host's generic

FQDN listed in the lb/api_fqdn lb/web_ui_fqdn, nginx/server_name and

nginx/url keys. Obviously that needs to be fixed and I need to reconfigure

to use chef.cname.domain.org, however according to:

http://docs.opscode.com/server/ctl_chef_server.html the reconfigure

reconfigures the system according to /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb Not

only does that file not exist at that path, but according to 'find',

chef-server.rb doesn't exist anywhere at all on my filesystem. I obviously

can use the 'show-config' command, but that dumps json. I don't know the

syntax of the chef-server.rb file though.
