I’ve installed Chef Server 11.0.6 and Chef 11.4.0 onto Ubuntu 12.04.2 and
am now trying to get things configured. The server has a DNS CNAME I’d like
to associate with all chef related tasks, lets call it chef.cname.domain.org.
When I run ‘chef-server-ctl show-config’ I see that I have my host’s
generic FQDN listed in the lb/api_fqdn lb/web_ui_fqdn, nginx/server_name
and nginx/url keys. Obviously that needs to be fixed and I need to
reconfigure to use chef.cname.domain.org, however according to:
http://docs.opscode.com/server/ctl_chef_server.html the reconfigure
reconfigures the system according to /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb Not
only does that file not exist at that path, but according to ‘find’,
chef-server.rb doesn’t exist anywhere at all on my filesystem. I obviously
can use the ‘show-config’ command, but that dumps json. I don’t know the
syntax of the chef-server.rb file though.
