[chef] Re: cannot access chef-server-webui and display "ActionView::Template::Error" in chef-server-webui log

[Nathan L Smith < >]

I had seen this before in my development environment but not in production. I've got a pull request open that should fix it: https://github.com/opscode/chef-server-webui/pull/33

We'll be doing a release soon with some security updates, so this fix should also ship with that next release.

Thanks for reporting it!

Hello,

When I access to chef-server webui, it’s displayed "We're sorry, but something went wrong”.

And output following log in /var/log/chef-server/chef-server-webui/current

---------------------------------------------------------------------

2014-08-06_06:08:10.53840 ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass):

---------------------------------------------------------------------

This phenomenon seems to be similar these cases.

https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-5301

https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-5307

Base on above cases I have already tried to modify like this 3 patterns and did "chef-server reconfigure".

/etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb

    chef_server_webui['cookie_domain'] = ‘'

    chef_server_webui['cookie_domain'] = ‘.mydoman'

    chef_server_webui['cookie_domain'] = ‘mydomain’

But still displaying same error message and cannot access chef-server webui.

How can I fix this issue?

Thank you.
