Changing listen ports for chef server?

Chef Infra (archive)
1

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: , request: “GET /organizations//cookbooks/base_files/0.3.2 HTTP/1.1”, upstream: “http://127.0.0.1:8000/organizations//cookbooks/base_files/0.3.2”, host: “: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?

Rather than chasing wild geese, I made the exact same change a second time - this time, it worked without a hitch.

Chalk it up to a non-reproducible problem!
