Sure. What you'll need to do is alter the couchdb_database config
option in /etc/chef/server.rb for each separate environment. You'll
also want to set up separate stomp queues if you are using the
indexer.

Hi Adam,

Thanks very much for your information.

But I could not find the couchdb_database config option in my
/etc/chef/server.rb... Is it because that it is not supported in my current
version (0.7.12)?

Thanks
Dikang

It most certainly is supported in Chef 0.7.12, Just add the line:
couchdb_database "foo"
The other default configuration options are in this file: http://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/chef/lib/chef/config.rb#L102-104

Perhaps it is time for a configuration reference wiki page =)

Thanks

Thanks Adam! it woks!

And I have another question (sorry to disturb you so many times...)

After the configuration, what's the command line I should use to start
another chef server instance? Because the port 4000 and 4001 have been used,
how could I assign new ports for the new chef server instance?

Thanks very much for your help!

I have edited a new chef server configuration file "/etc/chef/server_2.rb"
using new port, and type the command "sudo chef-server -C
/etc/chef/server_2.rb -c2 -N", but it still told me that
"merb : worker (port 4000) ~
merb : worker (port 4000) ~ FATAL: Could not bind to 4000. It was already in
use
merb : worker (port 4000) ~
merb : worker (port 4001) ~
merb : worker (port 4001) ~ FATAL: Could not bind to 4001. It was already in
use
merb : worker (port 4001) ~ "

You want '-p 4003', or whatever port you want to start merb on for
those instances.
