Incompatible C libyajl libs -- Chef 12

[Charles_Betz]

Greetings,

I am attempting a new Chef Server install on Vagrant Trusty64
https://atlas.hashicorp.com/ubuntu/boxes/trusty64 (14.04) and am getting
on every invocation of chef-server-ctl:

=========

the ffi-yajl and yajl-ruby gems have incompatible C libyajl libs and
should not be loaded in the same Ruby VM
falling back to ffi which might work (or might not, no promises)
ffi-yajl/json_gem is deprecated, these monkeypatches will be dropped
shortly
the ffi-yajl and yajl-ruby gems have incompatible C libyajl libs and
should not be loaded in the same Ruby VM
falling back to ffi which might work (or might not, no promises)

=========

Here is the provisioning script i have written to be run by Vagrant:

=========

hostname piernas.calavera.biz

apt-get -y update

wget
https://web-dl.packagecloud.io/chef/stable/packages/ubuntu/trusty/chef-server-core_12.0.1-1_amd64.deb

dpkg -i chef-server-core_12.0.1-1_amd64.deb

chef-server-ctl reconfigure

chef-server-ctl user-create CharlesTBetz Charles Betz char@erp4it.com
testPass --filename /vagrant/char-chef-cred

chef-server-ctl org-create DMA Digital Management Academy
–association_user CharlesTBetz --filename /vagrant/dma-chef-cred

===========

This is on a clean, vanilla VirtualBox with only apt-get update run, and
then following the instructions at
http://docs.chef.io/server/install_server.html.

I am running this on a late model Mac Air and have concerns about the
capacity, but this would not seem to be a capacity error.

I have fully qualified the hostname.

I also notice that I do not see the security files created (char-chef-cred,
dma-chef-cred)

Thoughts? Apologies if this is a total noob error. I see other server
requirements (ntp, smtp, etc) that would also not seem relevant on an
initial sandbox install.

Thanks for any assistance. This is to enable a simulation for a Masters
course in software engineering.

Hi Charles,

The libyajl warning is a know issues and is fixed on the master branch of the Chef Server.

This is simply a warning and, as far as we know, doesn’t cause any errors in the operation of the Chef Server.

Is the output that you posted the complete output of the script you have run?

Apologies, I forgot to post a link to where we’ve merged the fix. It was just yesterday: Bump chef-gem to 11.18.0. by tylercloke · Pull Request #667 · chef-boneyard/opscode-omnibus · GitHub

Hi Stephen, I appreciate the quick response.

No, that output is quite lengthy of course, as is noted in the instructions
"Because the Chef server is composed of many different services that work
together to create a functioning system, this step may take a few minutes
to complete." I do not see any obvious errors in that output.

However, I am still puzzled why the security credential files are
apparently not being generated.

Based on your response, my plan would be to leave the error as is until a
new package is released, rather than compiling on my own.

Can you run a chef-server-ctl user-list and also a chef-server-ctl org-list to verify that the users and organizations were created like you expected. There are a few things from your script that might cause problems, and I’ll double-check locally once I get a server up and running shortly:

1. The username might not allow uppercase characters

2. Same for the organization name, and the long-form name especially needs to be contained in quotes for it to be recognized as a single command line argument.

Hi Charles,

Here’s the output that I get when running those two commands:

ERROR: The data in your request was invalid

Response: Field ‘username’ invalid

ERROR: Chef::Exceptions::ValidationFailed: Option name’s value DMA does not match regular expression /^[a-z0-9\-_]+$/

I excluded the yajl warning output, which probably helped obscure the actual error for you. Hope that helps! I’ll also file an issue with the chef-server project because it appears that when these commands fail they still return 0.

Excluding the yajl warning output, I don't get a string validation error as
you suggest above. However, when I try to run the user-create command again
with:

chef-server-ctl user-create charb Charles Betz char@erp4it.com testPass

--filename /vagrant/char-chef-cred

I get a new error:

ERROR: Specified config file /etc/opscode/pivotal.rb does not exist!

Hadn't seen this in previous output IIRC.

If I run chef-server-ctl user-list I get the same error and no other
output.

Are you running the command as root, or as a user that has access to the /etc/opscode directory? That keyhole should have been created during the initial chef-server-ctl reconfigure.

testPass --filename /vagrant/char-chef-cred

I get a new error:

ERROR: Specified config file /etc/opscode/pivotal.rb does not exist!

Hadn't seen this in previous output IIRC.

If I run chef-server-ctl user-list I get the same error and no other
output.

Hi Charles,

Here’s the output that I get when running those two commands:

ERROR: The data in your request was invalid
Response: Field ‘username’ invalid

ERROR: Chef::Exceptions::ValidationFailed: Option name’s value DMA does
not match regular expression /^[a-z0-9\-_]+$/

I excluded the yajl warning output, which probably helped obscure the
actual error for you. Hope that helps! I’ll also file an issue with the
chef-server project because it appears that when these commands fail they
still return 0.

1. The username might not allow uppercase characters

Hi Stephen, I appreciate the quick response.

No, that output is quite lengthy of course, as is noted in the
instructions "Because the Chef server is composed of many different
services that work together to create a functioning system, this step may
take a few minutes to complete." I do not see any obvious errors in
that output.

However, I am still puzzled why the security credential files are
apparently not being generated.

Based on your response, my plan would be to leave the error as is
until a new package is released, rather than compiling on my own.

Hi Charles,

The libyajl warning is a know issues and is fixed on the master
branch of the Chef Server.

This is simply a warning and, as far as we know, doesn’t cause any
errors in the operation of the Chef Server.

Is the output that you posted the complete output of the script you
have run?

I have fully qualified the hostname.

I also notice that I do not see the security files created

Thoughts? Apologies if this is a total noob error. I see other
server requirements (ntp, smtp, etc) that would also not seem relevant on
an initial sandbox install.

One other note, I was following the example at

Install the Chef Infra Server

which suggests

chef-server-ctl org-create chef Chef Software, Inc. --association_user
stevedanno --filename /path/to/file.key

I noted that "Chef Software, Inc." was not quoted at the time and found it
unusual. You may want to fix the web page.

Thanks again for your responsiveness.

The missing pivotal.rb file and failure of the org-create command seem
related to the sizing of the VM.

I apologize for not doing this correctly initially per the recommendations.
System Requirements. I had assumed that a
bare sandbox install did not require the full specification - my bad.

I'd consider this thread closed for now. Thanks again for the help.
