Chef server will not start - Starting chef-server In 16011 Fail

chef-infra

Solution

Workaround:

Make sure the chef-server-webui service is stopped: sudo /etc/init.d/chef-server-webui stop

Start the web UI process manually (it will log to the console, not the log file): sudo /usr/sbin/chef-server-webui

When the process is up ("Successfully bound to port 4040"), stop it with Ctrl-C

Start the chef-server-webui service: sudo /etc/init.d/chef-server-webui start

The service should start now and log to /var/log/chef/server-webui.log.

Problem

olrHow do I deal with the below? ``` /etc/init.d/chef-server-webui start * Starting chef-server-webui ~ In 15468 ...fail! root@li409-115:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/chef-server start * Starting chef-server ~ In 16011 ...fail! ``` There is nothing in the logs files in /var/log/chef/server.log or server-webui.log starting chef client and solr works. So... how to resolve?
