[chef] Chef server install on RHEL 6

[< >]

Hi everyone,

I run into the following issue when executing chef-server-ctl reconfigure. Not
able to pin point the error. This is on chef-server-11.1.5-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
Appreciate your time and help.

Recipe: chef-server::bootstrap
  * execute[verify-system-status] action run
    - execute curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:8000/_status

  * execute[boostrap-chef-server] action run
================================================================================
Error executing action `run` on resource 'execute[boostrap-chef-server]'
