[chef] chef-server-ctl reconfigure fails

[Anna Redding < >]

Trying to install chef-server version 11.0.6-1 and it is failing in the rabbitmq portion of the reconfigure step.   

This has been successful in one of our development environments but is failing in another.  I even installed the chef-server rpm on a third host and ran the reconfigure and it worked fine.  But for some reason, on this 'one' VM, it is not working.  

Here is the error information:

 

Error excecuting action 'run' on resource 
Execute [/opt/chef-server/embedded/ bin/chpst -u chef_server -U chef_server     \
   /opt/chef-server/embedded/bin/rabbitmqctl wait                                             \
   / " x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0">var/opt/chef-server/rabbtmql/db/ ] 
Unable to run /opt/chef-server/embedded/bin/rabbitmqctl: access denied 

Another embedded error message states:  "Expected process to exit with [0], but received '111'

Any ideas what the '111' error code is and its resolution?  I've searched all over and cannot find a usable solution.

I also see a bug that's been logged with exit code [2] which is due to hostname resolution failing. This is not the issue I'm experiencing as I've confirmed the hostname (both short and long) is in 
/etc/hosts, /etc/nsswitch.conf references 'files dns', and the hostname does resolve.

I also saw something else on google indicating the 'HOME' environment setting was not set. I don't think that is it
because I have compared the environmental variables on all systems and they are set the same.  

I've also compared RPMs across the VMs. I did find a handful of differences but wonder why,  if they are, in fact, 
the problem, they did not flag as a dependency when the chef-server RPM was installed....

Any brilliant ideas out there???? Really need to get this up and running ASAP so any thoughts are much appreciated. 

Thanks!
Anna
