Opscode nginx_site disable not working as expected

millisami_r · April 4, 2013, 8:49am

Hi,
I installed the nginx using the opscode cookbook nginx https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/nginx

And this is the last code of my recipe:

…
nginx_site ‘default’ do
action :disable
end

nginx_site app_name do
action :enable
end

After going into /etc/ngins/sites-enabled, I see:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Apr 4 08:38 000-default -> /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Apr 4 08:32 harstorage -> /etc/nginx/sites-available/harapp

The question is, why just instead of removing the symlink, it renamed from default to 00-default?
It should have removed the link, why this?

To disable the pre-installed default site, you probably need to do:

nginx_site '000-default' do
action :disable
end

instead.

This is probably a bug in the cookbook (I admit, I wrote the disable
part a long time ago, and at the time it worked for me), since there's
supposed to be an attribute you can use to control this behavior. Ref:
https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/nginx/blob/master/attributes/default.rb#L80

If that doesn't work, feel free to report a bug, and send it my way.

Some packages may auto-enable the default site, and since nginx reads
site definitions alphabetically, it is common for the file to be named
000-default to be the first one loaded.

Thanks,
But I just posted that 000-default, i forgot to say that previously when the nginx is installed, it was the default only.
Then I added the action :disable and ran again, it changed to 000-default

I had a bunch of trouble with this, so we wound up with this blunt
instrument:

github.com

theodi/cuke-chef/blob/master/site-cookbooks/odi-nginx/recipes/default.rb#L60


      
                node['nginx']['vhost_prefix']
            ]
          end
          template "/etc/nginx/sites-available/%s%s%s" % [
              prefix,
              node["project_fqdn"],
              ssl_tag
          ] do
          
            port = 80
            if ssl
              port = 81
            end
          
            fqdn = node["project_fqdn"]
            if node['nginx']['vhost_prefix'] then
              fqdn = "%s.%s" % [
                  node['nginx']['vhost_prefix'],
                  fqdn
              ]
            end

I used the functionality at
https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/nginx/blob/master/attributes/default.rb#L80
yesterday with success.

Expected result: empty sites-enabled directory barring any enabled sites.

Cheers,

AJ
