Hey Taylor,

Looks you are right, never mind, I scrolled down the tutorial and I could do some steps of bringing up a virtualbox and resume from where I am stuck. Setting up of the virtual host on the tutorial is not too far from things I have attempted with web_app, I could not just understood that there should be lots of parameters to cater for just for the default site.

Thanks

Hello There,

Below are the modifications I did on my cookbook/phpapp/recipes/default.rb

include_recipe 'apache2'
include_recipe 'apache2::default'

template "#{node['apache']['dir']}/sites-available/default.conf" do
 cookbook 'apache2'
 source 'web_app.conf.erb'
 owner 'root'
 group node['apache']['root_group']
 mode '0644'
# notifies :restart , 'service[apache2]'
end


#web_app "default" do
#       #template 'web_app.conf.erb'
#       #name 'default'
#       server_name 'localhost'
#       enable true
#       docroot '/var/www/html'
#end


apache_site 'default' do
  enable true
end

It produces this output hosted on pastee.org .It looks like it's expecting to see the remaining variable passed to. In that case I would like to ask if there isn't any default variable mechanism in vagrant.

Thanks in advance

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,
