[chef] Re: Chef Server incompatible C libyajl libs

[Steven Danna < >]

Hi Douglas,

The yajl warnings are a known issue
(https://github.com/opscode/chef-server/issues/53).  However, I don't
think they should be preventing your Chef server from working.
`chef-server-ctl status` should output the warning followed by the
status of each service.  Is it doing that?  If so, which services are
down? It is likely that your server is not starting for a reason
unrelated to these warnings.

Sincerely,

Steven
