[chef] Re: Proper hostname configuration for chef server 11

[Joseph Holsten < >]

This sounds familiar to what I dealt with the first time I set up chef 11. I 
scrapped the original project and used http://fnichol.github.io/knife-server ;
to set up a new server and I didn't have the issue any more. I know it uses 
the master https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/chef-server cookbook under ;
the hood, so you may be able to tackle it with only that.

That said, if you've got the time to help improve chef-server-ctl or 
otherwise contribute to making the error messages in chef-server improved, 
I'd love to stop seeing people with this problem.
