Chef server: error “ArgumentError” when adding /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb

Question

i'm trying to learn about chef (i use to wok with CFengine). So i wanted to install a chef-server on my ubuntu 12.10 box.

I have follow this documentation: http://docs.opscode.com/install_server.html

All works fine, except i already have a web server listening on port 80. So i wanted nginx (from chef server) to listen on 8080. To do that, i have added "/etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb" with:

default['chef_server']['api_version'] = "11.0.2"
default['chef_server']['flavor'] = "osc" # Open Source Chef

default['chef_server']['notification_email'] = "XXXXXX@SPAM.XXXXX"
default['chef_server']['bootstrap']['enable'] = true

####
# The Chef User that services run as
####
# The username for the chef services user
default['chef_server']['user']['username'] = "chef_server"
# The shell for the chef services user
default['chef_server']['user']['shell'] = "/bin/sh"
# The home directory for the chef services user
default['chef_server']['user']['home'] = "/opt/chef-server/embedded"


####
# Nginx
####
default['chef_server']['nginx']['enable'] = true
default['chef_server']['nginx']['ha'] = false
default['chef_server']['nginx']['dir'] = "/var/opt/chef-server/nginx"
default['chef_server']['nginx']['log_directory'] = "/var/log/chef-server/nginx"
default['chef_server']['nginx']['ssl_port'] = 443
default['chef_server']['nginx']['enable_non_ssl'] = false
default['chef_server']['nginx']['non_ssl_port'] = 8080
default['chef_server']['nginx']['server_name'] = node['fqdn']
default['chef_server']['nginx']['url'] = "https://#{node['fqdn']}"

And when i try: chef-server-ctl reconfigure

I got:

root@goldorak:/etc/chef-server# chef-server-ctl reconfigure
Starting Chef Client, version 11.6.0

Answer 1

Ok answer myself, bad syntax in chef-server.rb. Don't need "default['chef_server']" prefix. For example:

nginx['non_ssl_port'] = 8080
