I have an installation of chef-server_10.18.2 (I've lost the original Debian package) running on Ubuntu Precise (12.04 LTS) server.

There are Chef configuration files on the path /etc/chef. Among the contents of this subdirectory is the file webui.rb. Warm and fuzzy.

I'm able to reach the older Chef server via it web UI using my browser and also

    $ wget 16.86.192.111:4040

Using netstat, I see that this is supposed to work (and it does as I say):

    $ netstat -lntp | grep chef
    tcp    0    0 0.0.0.0:4000   0.0.0.0:*    LISTEN    1046/merb : chef-se
    tcp    0    0 0.0.0.0:4040   0.0.0.0:*    LISTEN    1046/merb : chef-se

I have a fresh installation of chef-server_11.0.8-1.ubuntu.12.04_amd64.deb on Ubuntu Precise (12.04 LTS) server. The installation went without a hitch.

There are Chef configuration files on the path /etc/chef-server. I sort of expected this, but the contents of this subdirectory do not include the file webui.rb. Cold and prickly, but I'm totally down with progress in whatever form.

I'm unable to reach the new installation via my browser or wget, though ps -ef tells me it's indeed running. netstat reveals that Chef isn't listening on any port.

You ran `chef-server-ctl reconfigure` and it completed without error?
