Hi,
I have several git repos to manage changes to different environments (say
DEV + PROD). Is it pretty straight-forward to run chef-server on different
ports and have the DEV clients connect to the DEV port and PROD to the PROD
port? Will I need to configure different rabbitmq queues and couchdb
database for each one?
If any has pointers to docs (Google hasn’t help here) or has experience
doing this I’d appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mark

I'd start here: http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Chef+Configuration+Settings
The trick is that you'll need to be running two of everything. You can
make decisions like two couchdb servers or one with two databases, and
two rabbitmq servers or one with multiple vhosts? Theoretically you
can set all this. If you do it, I'd love to hear your success. I'd
personally just run two VMs because it leaves you with a more standard
installation that is easier to scale.

Hi Bryan, that's pretty much what I thought but wanted to check my idea
before starting to install and configure (and suffer debugging pains 
).
I'm not expecting many clients, fewer that 100, so I think I'll go with
one each of couchdb and rabbitmq and use multiple databases and multiple
queues.
I can't run 2 VMs, because:
a) I'm running in an EC2 instance and cannot further virtualize
b) I really simplified the question and have other environments (QA, UAT,
etc.) in between DEV and PROD. I can't afford that many servers for this
project.

Cookies if you do this with chef-solo and release your cookbook when
you're done.
Bryan
OK, I'll try and tackle solo mode once I have this env up and running.
First dumb question: is there a way to point chef-server at a different
server.rb than the one in /etc/chef? I did chef-server --help but couldn't
find any options for that.
Thanks,
Mark

Does this also mean I need multiple solr servers, each on a different port?

You need multiple Solr instances. Not necessarily different ports, if you set it up as multiple contexts on a single tomcat (or what have you).
I'd like to hear about your experience too.

When I try and start the chef-server I get the following error (cryptic)

Depending on your OS and the phase of the moon, that may be different

Hi Andrea,
I checked with netstat and it looks like it is on the right port; as for
the Host=0.0.0.0 I don't yet know where it's getting that. Still looking ..

Thanks Andrea, awesome links; following the Chef Indexer list fixed the

Glad to help
Well, it -was- going pretty well; I got one server up and running from a
repository and, while getting the second one going, I'm running into
certificate issues. Which highlights to me that I don't know enough about
how certificates are generated and consumed in the Chef architecture. Are
there any good pointers to documentation on this?

What kind of certificates? They're used for client authentication,
which is briefly described here:
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/API+Clients
Make sure you set the path to the validation_key to a different value
for each server. This is the special client that can be used to
automate creating new clients. If the file specified by validation_key
does not exist it is recreated, but keep in mind that client keys are
actually stored internally in the database. This file on the server is
mostly a convenient way for you to get a couple of the validation
clients key. See

Thanks again for the links, they helped get me (initially) past the
certificate issues.
I'm trying to start the webui and, although it seems to start correctly, I
cannot seem to log in when presented with a login form. My chef-server is
on port 4020 and the webui is on port 4050.
Which step is responsible for populating the database with the initial
admin user?

OK, I found the setting apqp_host and set it to 127.0.0.1 with no effect
(that is, still getting the error).

Hi Andrea,
I checked with netstat and it looks like it is on the right port; as for
the Host=0.0.0.0 I don't yet know where it's getting that. Still looking ..Mark

Looks like a failure to connect to Rabbitmq; the error message is
uglier than it could be (I have bunny-0.7.9 where the failure is
handled better).
Did you confirm it is indeed running on port 5672? Also, I see the
host is 0.0.0.0.
Depending on your OS and the phase of the moon, that may be different
from 127.0.0.1; try that one.Andrea
