Title: RE: [chef] Re: Changing listen ports for chef server?

Thanks for looking that up! First of all, I had made a mistake. I shouldn't have said "open source chef" - I'm actually using chef server 12.1.2. Thanks for making me aware of that! So the, for me, correct version actually is here: https://docs.chef.io/config_rb_server.html

The settings I used actually came from the optional settings page: https://docs.chef.io/config_rb_server_optional_settings.html

Subject: [chef] Changing listen ports for chef server?

I would like my open-source chef server to change the ports it listens to. The goal is for it to coexist with a regular Web server.

Apparently, there are entries in chef-server.rb that accomplish this:

 nginx['non_ssl_port'] = 4080
 nginx['ssl_port'] = 4443

However, when I do this (and of course change the client URL correspondingly), Chef reports internal errors. The nginx log file shows that an internal connection fails:

 [error] 15162#0: *1 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: <redacted>, request: "GET /organizations/<redacted>/cookbooks/base_files/0.3.2 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/organizations/<redacted>/cookbooks/base_files/0.3.2", host: "<redacted>:4443"

When I remove the entries in chef-server.rb, everything goes back to normal.

Is there something else I have to do in order to change the listen ports?
