Services not starting when bootstrapping an EC2 instance

Maven_User · March 16, 2013, 5:27am

Hi all -

I’m struggling to put my finger on what’s going wrong here.

I’m trying to bootstrap an ec2 instance, and even though I can ssh up
after the bootstrapping is complete and "sudo service start"
it, the:

service do
action :start
end

bit doesn’t start the service that the same recipe is deploying…

Any suggestions?

Maven_User · March 16, 2013, 5:54am

Another clue (maybe) is if the instance is restarted, the service comes up.

When you bootstrap - you have to specify the "ubuntu" user, I'm not
sure if that's the problem or not...

Is there a problem with the service itself? Does the package
installation automatically start the service in a bad state?

Is it an init script, or upstart, systemd, etc?

Can you post the full chef debug logs.

Cheers,

AJ

Dood - thanks so much for the reply!

It's a standard init script and the service doesn't even have a log
written at this point.

Then I ssh up and run "sudo service start" and it starts/logs.

Is there some weirdness with ubuntu supplied ubuntu ami's?

If you toss 'set -x' into the Init script you should be able to see
extremely verbose debugging from Bash itself, as the script is
executed.

It looks like you're using debug logging for knife bootstrap -- not
debug logging in the Chef run itself. The latter will be more
informative

If you use the debug logging of Chef you should be able to see it
shelling out to the service. Can you try setting your log level to
debug and posting the relevant logs (around the service action
firing?)

Maybe you haven't specified that the service supports status, and it
is falling back to grepping for a process name?

It looks like you're using debug logging for knife bootstrap -- not

Maven_User · March 18, 2013, 10:16pm

I THINK I have this working...

The default "jetty" init script (which is what ours is based on), to
check status, uses "service check" instead of "service
status".

So when chef checks, it was checking the wrong thing, and there fore
quietly failing...
