Hey Chefs,

 Having an issue getting chef server installed in EC2 on Ubuntu 12.04

 I install the 11.0.10 debiain package with the dpkg -i command.

 And when I run chef-server-ctl reconfigure, the installation attempt aborts with the following message:

   === Testing Environment ===

                 Config File: /var/opt/chef-server/chef-pedant/etc/pedant_config.rb

       HTTP Traffic Log File: /var/log/chef-server/chef-pedant/http-traffic.log

Running tests from the following directories:

/opt/chef-server/embedded/service/chef-pedant/spec/api

Ruby?  Erlang? true

Is this on a micro instance? 

This line here:  

/usr/bin/chef-server-ctl: line 30:  4346 Killed                  /opt/chef-server/embedded/bin/omnibus-ctl chef-server /opt/chef-server/embedded/service/omnibus-ctl $@

looks like something sent a SIGKILL to that process, which could be the oomkiller if you were running low on RAM. 

I was wondering if I could have some tips on how to troubleshoot this. Really would appreciate any advice anyone may have. 

Thanks!

Tim
