I know 10.10 is still rc, but i ran into a quirk at startup.

Starting up via init script i run into:  
Starting chef-server:  
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/chef-0.10.10.rc.2/lib/chef/config.rb:275:  
undefined method `+' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:55:in`gem\_original\_require’  
from /usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:55:in `require' from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/chef-0.10.10.rc.2/lib/chef.rb:24 from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:59:in`gem\_original\_require’  
from /usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:59:in `require' from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/chef-server-api-0.10.10.rc.2/bin/chef-server:38 from /usr/bin/chef-server:19:in`load’  
from /usr/bin/chef-server:19

Looking in config.rb i find:

# returns a platform specific path to the user home dir

```
user_home (ENV['HOME'] || ENV['SYSTEMDRIVE'] + ENV['HOMEPATH'] ||

```

ENV[‘USERPROFILE’])

## the only env variable thats set is HOME. the others seem Windows centric? i commented it out and things seem fine, so I’m wondering if maybe this should be inside the conditional right above it?

We love testers! Actually that's been fixed in CHEF-3078 and you  
should make sure you're running Chef 0.10.10.rc.3.

ok, i updated to rc3 and startup is working 🙂

i am curious about chef-solr, when i starts the log prints:  
[Mon, 07 May 2012 12:45:05 -0700] INFO: Starting Solr with java  
-Xmx256M -Xms256M -Dsolr.data.dir=/var/chef/solr/data  
-Dsolr.solr.home=/var/chef/solr -jar /var/chef/solr-jetty/start.jar  
2012-05-07 12:45:06.104::INFO: Logging to STDERR via org.mortbay.log.StdErrLog  
2012-05-07 12:45:06.305::INFO: jetty-6.1.3

6.1.3? is that intentional? 0.10.8 ships with 6.1.24.
