Munin::server => apache2 => ArgumentError

Chef Infra (archive)
1

Hello,

I’ve just started with chef and am having some trouble.

I’m using the munin::server recipe, which includes apache2, which is failing to install on the client machine. The apache2 cookbook is on the chef server… and it’s the one from opscode/chef-repo…

Any debugging tips?

John

This is most often the problem. Does the cookbooks/munin/metadata.rb
file contain the line:

depends "apache2"

Do you have the apache2 cookbook installed as well?

Yes, I can see it through the chef-server-webui

The chef server decides what additional cookbooks to send to the
client from the metadata of cookbooks assigned to the node. This way
every node does not need to have a copy of every cookbook.

Yes, that fixed the problem.

That makes sense then. So, this is a bug in the opscode cookbooks recipe.
I'll file it as an issue on github.

Thanks for helping me out :slight_smile:
