[chef] trouble installing chef 11 on RHEL 6 (AWS Linux)

ok. I'm gonna try it. I've been running an ubuntu chef 10.x server for a long
time. Now I'm gonna try to go for chef 11 on AWS Linux.

AWS Linux 2012.09
chef-server-11.0.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

When I run "chef-server-ctl reconfigure", it never gets past:

  ruby_block[supervise_rabbitmq_sleep] action run

Anyone have advice? Lots of detail below. Thanks!

These are the processes in the process table. 

\_ /bin/bash /usr/bin/chef-server-ctl reconfigure
  \_ /opt/chef-server/embedded/bin/ruby 
/opt/chef-server/embedded/bin/omnibus-ctl chef-server

The chef-solo pid above is "spinning" stat'ing file
/opt/chef-server/sv/rabbitmq/supervise/ok which doesn't exist:
