I set up a RHEL 64bit VM and got the Chef v11 rpm and installed it as root but there were some errors.

These are two of the lines that stand out.

Error executing action `run` on resource 'execute[verify-system-status]'
Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed

The test shows a missing file.

~]# chef-server-ctl test
/opt/chef-server/embedded/service/chef-pedant/lib/pedant/config.rb:34:in `from_argv': Configuration file '/var/opt/chef-server/chef-pedant/etc/pedant_config.rb' not found! (RuntimeError)

I used the installation instructions from here:
       http://docs.opscode.com/chef/install_server.html
And found this BUG reference
      http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-4096

Is there a fix for this?
I created an output file of the installation process for inspection if needed.
thanks,

That bug seems to indicate that you ran `chef-server-ctl reconfigure` as non-root?
