Chef-server 11 hung forever until chef-server-ctl restart

Hui_Hu · November 18, 2013, 12:48pm

Hi guys,

I’m using chef-server-11.0.8-1.el5 on CentOS 5. My chef-server hungs
forever after OS bootup.
Thanks in advance if any suggestion.

Below is my env:

tailf /etc/inittab :

SV:123456:respawn:/opt/chef-server/embedded/bin/runsvdir-start
SE:123456:once:/usr/sbin/mybootup.sh

/usr/sbin/mybootup.sh will run ‘chef-server-ctl reconfigure’ on every
system boot and upload some cookbooks and roles.

My issue sometimes the chef-server hungs after /usr/sbin/mybootup.sh
completes. Sometimes erchef hungs, sometimes bookshelf hungs. This occurs
seldom.

e.g. This command will hung forever:

wget http://127.0.0.1:8000/
–2013-11-18 12:41:53-- http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Connecting to 127.0.0.1:8000… connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response…

After run’ chef-server-ctl restart’ , the chef-server works well.

The chef logs doesn’t show any error. BTW how to set log level of erchef
and bookshelf to debug ?

the CPU and Mem looks normal on my chef-server

The strange thing is all my cookbook and roles are uploaded successfully,
but later on the erchef hungs. Not sure erchef hungs before or after my
chef-client tries to synchronizing cookbook.

The rabbitmq (5672) and bookshelf (4321) is responding, but erchef (8000)
hungs. Sometimes bookshelf hung too. My issue should not be the same as
https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-3921 , all 'depend' in metadata.rb
of my cookbook doesn't have version constraints.

The strange thing is all my cookbook and roles are uploaded successfully,
but later on the erchef hungs. Not sure erchef hungs before or after my
chef-client tries to synchronizing cookbook.

Does the server hang at start without receiving chef-client run traffic
or only after nodes check-in and (attempt to) run?

At present, this sounds most like the known issue with the dependency
solver -- especially when you describe that updates to cookbooks and
roles work, but CCRs fail.

This would not explain bookshelf hanging, however.

We've replaced the dependency solver -- restoring the gecode based
solver that is faster and more robust (at the cost of the dependency on
gecode). You can experiment with it by installing a nightly build of
Chef Server.
