In the RHEL based world, It would be really helpful if the “chef-server” RPM’s included ‘%ghost’ entries in the .spec file for the /var/opt/opscode, and for ‘/var/opt/chef-server’ on older chef releases. This would allow “rpm –ql chef-server’ to at least indicate that those directories are relevant.

 

I once had one heck of a time re-intallinag a chef server due to not knowing about these, and wound up having to replace it with an entirely new host.

The databases are in /var/opt/opscode, so they were likely left

 

Ohhh... this explains A LOT! :)

 

Thanks, now the upgrade was done with success, I'll test things around to see if there is nothing broken!

 

Many thanks!
