[chef] Re: chef-solo apache2 install doesn't enable default site

Hey Joseph, 

If you look at the default recipe, you'll notice that it actually deletes the default site. There's an attribute that controls that.

Hello Guys,

I have been doing a full start from scratch all day chef series in order to start the week with team members and eventually using it through opsworks.

I have an intermediate experience with ansible so I kind of have the big picture with configuration management.

I started with a very modest article from gettingstartedwithchef.com I have already managed to get into trouble. I am running this in vagrant with trusty. I have 2 interfaces Nat and hostonly so I can talk to the vagrant box via it own IP.

My recipe/default.rb really has :
include_recipe 'apache2'

apache_site 'default' do
  enable true
end

What I have noticed is that there is only default-ssl.conf in the sites-available folder and nothing in the sites-enabled folder. As at now I have no idea as to how this happened. I wouldn't want to start rolling out my own virtuahost template because I really want to make sure I follow the steps.

I might switch to another tutorial for the mean time but it will be useful for my own sake to find out what happened and how to debug etc. I will be grateful if anybody and land a hand.

In the meantime any other updated and useful step by step resource on chef is welcome.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards,
