Description

I had to build my own ruby in /usr/local. When installing the chef gems, all of the chef executables are created in /usr/local/bin.
The bootstart_client and bootstrap_server recipes symlinks everything over to /usr/sbin (assuming you have /usr/local/bin on your PATH)
However, the processes will fail to start because the intit scripts in the chef gem refer to /usr/bin/$executable, not /usr/sbin/$executable.
Updating the init scripts to use /usr/sbin will actually take advantage of the created symlinks, and make it easier to install chef in a less than standard location.

Bug - A problem which impairs or prevents the functions of the product. COOK-886 chef-server install on centos states /usr/sbin in some places and /usr/bin in others (and sysconfig file is being overridden... should be removed)

  • Major - Major loss of function.
  • Closed - The issue is considered finished, the resolution is correct. Issues which are closed can be reopened.

This isn't just an issue on CentOS, it is an issue on Ubuntu as well.

I should note I'm not compiling ruby, I'm using a bootstrapped EC2 instance to install the chef client, then running "sudo chef-client" to connect to an existing chef server (manually installed) in order to automatically install another chef-server. After install, a change to the init.d script for chef-server and chef-server-webui needs to:

-DAEMON=/usr/bin/chef-server
+DAEMON=/usr/sbin/chef-server

Hopefully that makes it more clear. It appears the changes need to happen in the gem itself.

OK just changing this from /usr/bin/ to /usr/sbin/ doesn't appear to be right. In my case, I'm using the chef-server cookbook to do a rubygems-install, and it seems to create the symlinks in /usr/sbin (which obviously isn't right). I'm going to fork the cookbooks repo and submit a pull request. I'll open that against a new ticket. I'll link back here when done for those interested.

chef::bootstrap_server was deprecated in favor of chef-server::rubygems-install.

Closing this as as a duplicate of COOK-886.
