I wonder if someone can clarify a couple of issues when installing Open Source  
Chef Server and Workstation that I’m not clear about.

I’ve installed Chef Server using the RPM chef-server-11.0.6-1.el6.x86\_64.rpm.  
It’s all installed and running perfectly, so now I’m installing the Workstation  
and I’m about to configure knife and I’m looking at;  
[http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Installing+Chef+Server+Manually#InstallingChefServerManually-ConfiguretheCommandLineClient](http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Installing+Chef+Server+Manually#InstallingChefServerManually-ConfiguretheCommandLineClient)

It states that Chef Server is on port 4000 and Chef Server WebUI is on port  
4040, but this appears not to be the case on the RPM install as nothing is  
listening on these two ports. So my question is 1) What ports are they  
configured on in the RPM is installation and 2) where are these located in the  
config files?

Thanks in advance.

John

Hi.

That's because the wiki page you're looking at is for Chef 10 server.  
Chef 11 runs on 80/443.

Here's an example knife config

Here's a ticket to update the wiki  
[http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-3886](http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-3886)

Here is the URL for the new docs site.

on similar note, the current default configurations ship with  
localhost:4000 as chef\_server\_url, i was planning to submit a pull request,  
but im not sure if this is applicable for 10.x branch as well.
