Cloudfoundry Install with Vagrant: chef Solo ERROR

Question

I am actually tring to set up a Cloudfoundry V2 instance by using the Altoros cf-vagrant-installer process:

https://github.com/Altoros/cf-vagrant-installer

All was working fine, I have got a vagrant 1.2.2 with berkshelf plugin installed, virtualbox 4.1.18 installed on a ubuntu 12.10 server.

I have been trough the first steps, which are cloning the git repo, installing the box via vagrant up, ssh it, launch the postinstall script that ends the ssh session.

So I vagrant up again and get this :

Answer 1

I'd like to add something in tmatilai's answer. I tackled the same issue once. Only option seemed to be upgrading ruby to 1.9.3 and upgrading chef to 11.4.4 after upgrading ruby.

So I added following line before provisioning chef-solo.

config.vm.provision :shell, :path => "somescript.sh"

then I added a somescript.sh file parallel to cookbooks directory in the chef kitchen, which contained

apt-get update
apt-get -y install ruby1.9.3 build-essential
gem install chef --version 11.4.4 --no-rdoc --no-ri --conservative

everything ran fine after that.

Answer 2

All good now (well on this problem ..) with the latest code of cf-vagrant-installer.

thanks to all of you !!

Answer 3

Did you update your copy of the cf-vagrant-installer? I'm fairly sure this Chef bug was worked around there a couple of weeks ago.

Answer 4

That is a bug in Chef 10.24.4 and 11.4.4 with Ruby 1.8: CHEF-4123. Fix is committed but not released yet.

You need to downgrade the Chef version, wait for the new releases or upgrade Ruby. The recommended way to install Chef is using the "omnibus installer" that has an embedded Ruby. For Vagrant there is an excellent vagrant-omnibus plugin.
