[chef] Re: trouble seeing chef-server webui

[Mark Mzyk < >]

It should have worked, but it obviously didn't. Are you seeing any kind of errors from nginx? You can watch the nginx logs with "chef-server-ctl tail nginx". If you need more logs, you can leave off the nginx and just try "chef-server-ctl tail". You could also watch the webu lgosi and see if it is throwing any errors with "chef-server-ctl tail chef-server-webui". You can also find all the logs at /var/log/chef-server.

It could also be possible that something is wrong with the hostname. See the docs here: http://docs.opscode.com/install_server.html at the bottom and see if your hostname checks out. I suspect it's more likely there is an error somewhere in the logs, but I've been wrong before and likely will be again.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to setup the open source chef-server. I seem to have set everything up correctly but for some reason when I go to the url of the server in my browser I only see the nginx default screen. When I type chef-server-ctl test, all the tests pass. I've been searching online for steps to install the server and all of them only say that once you run chef-server-ctl reconfigure you should be able to go to the url in your browser and the chef-server webui should be displayed. Could someone point me in the right direction please

- Thanks
