[chef] Re: Can login to Chef 12 WebUI

[Stephen Delano < >]

Hi there,

Is it possible for you to share the portion of the /etc/opscode/chef-server.rb that you've tried to configure for the Manage Console?

The instructions you linked to are out of date for Chef 12. The Manage Console is an addon in Chef 12, so the configuration for that service will live in /etc/opscode-manage/manage.rb and for the configuration changes to go live, you would run `opscode-manage-ctl reconfigure`.

Thanks,

Stephen

I installed the latest Chef 12 on an RH6.x VM, and installed the management feature. I can go to that VM’s console session, open up Firefox and am able to access https://my-server.domain.com

 

However, I can’t access the same URL on a browser running on my Windows machine.

 

I saw this post http://serverfault.com/questions/557250/chef-server-webui-session-not-working-when-access-from-external-ip-address but it may only pertain to Chef 11 Enterprise since chef 12 install ins /etc/opscode, and when I implement the accepted solution and run chef-server-ctl reconfigure I get

 

“Error loading file: /etc/opscode/chef-server.rb:1 in ‘from_file’: undefined method ‘[]=’ for nil:NilClass

 

 

Any clues?
