Chef server doesn't start

Hi Folks,

I have an urgent issue with chef. It doesn’t start.

Any time I do

chef-server-ctl start rabbitmq

it returns

warning: rabbitmq: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist

The recipe looks like this:
/opt/chef-server/embedded/cookbooks/runit/recipes/default.rb


 20 # TODO: This needs RHEL support
 21 case node"platform"]
 22 when "ubuntu"
 23   include_recipe "runit::upstart"
 24 when "redhat","centos","rhel","scientific"
 25   if node'platform_version'] =~ /^6/
 26     include_recipe "runit::upstart"
 27   else
 28     include_recipe "runit::sysvinit"
 29   end
 30 else
 31   include_recipe "runit::sysvinit"
 32 end

/opt/chef-server/embedded/cookbooks/runit/recipes/sysvinit.rb


 20 # We assume you are sysvinit
 21 svdir_line = 'SV:123456:respawn:/opt/chef-server/embedded/bin/runsvdir-start'
 22 execute "echo '#{svdir_line}' >> /etc/inittab" do
 23   not_if "grep '#{svdir_line}' /etc/inittab"
 24   notifies :run, "execute[init q]", :immediately
 25 end
 26 
 27 execute "init q" do
 28   action :nothing
 29 end

Any idea how to get this running?

Do you have any idea which version of openSUSE you use. We haven’t.

You did not specify your openSUSE version or desktop used. Also, openSUSE uses systemd and not sysvinit now.

Thank You,

Okay, okay okay.


cat /etc/SuSE-brand
openSUSE
VERSION = 12.2


uname -a 
Linux python02 3.4.28-2.20-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 29 16:51:37 UTC 2013 (143156b) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So openSUSE 12.2 has been out a while. How long did it work OK before it broke and have you considered doing a system upgrade, perhaps to 13.1, due out shortly?

Thank You,

Well, we are little in a hurry. So we can’t wait for 13.1
But it’s the first time we try to get it running. So it didn’t worked before.

I’ll give it a trial on a different machine with openSuSE 12.3.
But I’d prefer to debug the issue more targeted instead of this trial and error process.

Regards,

Karsten

While you write all this as if everybody here naturaly would use that product, I can not even find it in the standard repos.

So maybe you could be a bit more talkative on where you found it and what you did to install it.

Also it might be that, when you found it on a web-site dedicated to the product, asking the developers there may lead to a quicker solution then waiting here until either another user of the product tunes in, or people here, by trying to understand the eror messages have a bright idea.

Hi
Only the OP knows… :wink: but both chef and rabbit-mq are part of
openstack/spacewalk or SUSE Cloud (which I was actually playing
with today at SUSEcon)…
