Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone has had any luck getting Chef Server 12 working on Centos 7?

I was able to install the the server core and chef-manage (I had to use the RPM for that one) but when I run chef-server-ctl reconfigure I get the following failure:

- configure service runit_service[rabbitmq]

Recipe: private-chef::rabbitmq

Hey Austin,

Chef hasn't added official support for Centos 7 yet. We're working on
shipping Chef Server12 and once that is done we'll begin the process of
verifying and ensuring the server works and is officially supported on
Centos 7 and Ubuntu 14.04.

However, emails like this are fantastic! I encourage you to open an
issue about this on either the opscode-omnibus[1] or chef-server repo[2]
(either works, we setup the chef-server repo so everyone would have an
easy name to remember and we'll switch to fully recommending that one in
the future). This will give us a place to track any work you've done and
to interact with you a way that is also easy for others to contribute.
Then once we do roll onto supporting Centos 7 the work goes faster,
because of all the knowledge you've provided.

For this specific issue, I'll state the obvious and it seems something
has moved out from under rabbitmq that it expects. I believe to even
have gotten to this point you've already made other changes to the setup
of the server. If you open that issue and can provide all the steps
you've done up to this point, that will give me more information to be
able to help you figure this out. Either something you already modified
moved something rabbit expected, or the version of rabbit that ships
with the Chef Server 12 doesn't work on Centos 7.

Thanks,

This is probably an issue with the underlying runit cookbook, which is
actually pulled from the community for EC11/Server12 (but not
open-source 11). Github sources are here:

I see there’s no CentOS 7 in the kitchen configs on that cookbook.
Opening an issue there is probably going to be the fastest way towards
fixing it.
