Ok, did the following, which seems to be the common approach, and what you suggested:
wget https://opscode-omnibus-packages.s3.amazonaws.com/ubuntu/12.04/x86_64/chef-server_11.0.10-1.ubuntu.12.04_amd64.deb
Then installed using the system package manager:
sudo dpkg -i chef-server_11.0.10-1.ubuntu.12.04_amd64.deb
And then ran the chef-server-ctl reconfigure command like:
sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure, which hit an error on solr; here's the output:

the rest of the services restarted properly, but my server is still showing as running 11.0.8, and hitting the cookbook show link still results in the error.
Any ideas?

Hi Bill,
go to http://www.getchef.com/chef/install/ and pick the "Chef Server"
tab. Then download the package and do what you already did when
installing it:
- install the packet using your OS's package management utility (apt,
yum, ..)
- run
chef-server-ctl reconfigure
Like described here: Install the Chef Infra Server
But I agree that an "Upgrading Chef Server" section the docs would be of
help. I also had to search a lot while doing the update.
Yours

I've hit a known bug with the web-ui, where the show action on a cookbook results in "ERROR: undefined method `close!' for nil:NilClass". On a somewhat related note, the same cookbooks' changes are not being picked up on a client when converging. Due to the error, I cannot confirm (or I don't know how) whether or not the knife upload is actually resulting in my changes being persisted on the server, although the knife command returns success. So, I'm thinking it might be best to upgrade the server. I've been looking for a definitive resource on the proper means of upgrading chef server, but not finding anything very concrete.
Per the /version, I've got:

Are there any solid resources that explain this, or brief summary on steps involved? Pointers to good resources, or brief walk through would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Bill
