[chef] Chef Server incompatible C libyajl libs

[Douglas Garstang < >]

I just downloaded chef-server-core_12.0.1-1_amd64.deb. I have Ubuntu 14.04 (with current updates), and that's the download I got when I clicked 'Ubuntu 14.04' on the chef web site.

When attempting to start chef-server...

:/etc/init.d# chef-server-ctl start
the ffi-yajl and yajl-ruby gems have incompatible C libyajl libs and should not be loaded in the same Ruby VM
falling back to ffi which might work (or might not, no promises)
ffi-yajl/json_gem is deprecated, these monkeypatches will be dropped shortly

Apparently, it does not work. The server does not start. A status returns the same result.

What's going on? Solution?
