Hi Mark,

Thank you very much! The version of Chef I installed is 12.

Sorry that I am a little busy today. So I reply later. I will try to install the chef server UI tomorrow.

Thanks again~~~

Hey Dong,

I assume you installed Chef server 12, the latest. By default it doesn't ship with a UI, so what you are seeing is the default page if you access the API in a browser. The UI component is called Manage (https://docs.chef.io/manage.html) and it is installed separately via another package. It is a premium feature (so a pay feature), but is free for use under 25 nodes. If you'd like to install it, you can find the docs to do so here: http://docs.chef.io/ctl_chef_server.html#install. Once it is installed it will replace the default page you see now.

I'm not sure what caused the chef-server-ctl test failure. I suspect that might be an issue with the test suite. If you see no other errors when running your Chef server I believe you're good to go.

Hi, every one.
I just installed chef server x64 in rehl5/6.
But on both the rh servers, I could access the login web site.
I try to use chef-server-ctl to find out what happened.
Here below is the error message.
Do anybody know how to fix it?
Thanks.
