Hi all -
I’m starting to look at ark and liked what I saw - I’m currently working on
bootstrapping developer machines with the tools we need here (starting
simple with maven and java).
I thought I wanted to use :puts, but for some reason, chef keeps trying
to write into /var/chef (which I don’t want it to - everything for a dev
machine needs to stay within the user’s home dir for this experiment).
I’m generating the “solo.rb” on the fly like this:
file_cache_path "/home/$USER/.chef/cache"
cookbook_path “/home/$USER/chef-repo/cookbooks”
What am I missing? Here is the error:
[2012-08-20T14:36:09-04:00] ERROR:
remote_file[/home//.chef/cache/maven.tar.gz] (dynamically defined)

`from_file’) had an error:

remote_file[/home//.chef/cache/maven.tar.gz] (dynamically defined)
had an error: Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - /var/chef
I can see that the maven gzip has come down properly, but I don’t
understand why anything is looking at /var/chef for any reason…
You'll want to set some other settings as well. My solo.rb for (Mac)
workstations has the following:
#Set this to whatever you like:
chef_root = "#{Dir.tmpdir}/chef"
sandbox_path "#{chef_root}/sandboxes"
file_cache_path "#{chef_root}/cookbooks"
file_backup_path "#{chef_root}/backup"
cache_options ({ :path => "#{chef_root}/cache/checksums",
:skip_expires => true })
Details of chef configuration values are
