[chef] Re: How to configure opscode nginx properly

[Steve Hummingbird < >]

Hmm, I am not really sure where and why I should add “chef-server”. But after 
all my desperate attempts I have commited a wrapper cookbook for nginx to 
github: https://github.com/st-h/wrapper-nginx ;
It’s designed after an example I had gotten from #chef irc yesterday. It 
initially appeared to work fine, but after I had set the [‘nginx’][‘dir’] to 
a custom location everything seems to fall apart again. The nginx cookbook 
always installs the default config, even if it has been told to not do so. 
This has really started to get frustrating. :( So, any help is really 
appreciated…
