  # required by recipe[mysql::server]
  cp -R ~/code/chef/ew/cookbooks/openssl ~/code/vagrant-redmine/cookbooks/

  # required by recipe[php]
  cp -R cp -R ~/code/chef/ew/cookbooks/apt ~/code/vagrant-redmine/cookbooks/

  # for agent forwarding; consider including root_ssh_agent::env_keep in precise64-customized.box

Note: I ran everything with SSH agent forwarding turned on.

Debugging tips

dependent cookbooks with errors

ewscripts causes the following error, so I leave it out:

Chef::Exceptions::EnclosingDirectoryDoesNotExist: cookbook_file[/etc/chef/git_id_rsa] (ewscripts::git line 3) had an error: Chef::Exceptions::EnclosingDirectoryDoesNotExist: Parent directory /etc/chef does not exist.

php complains about /etc/php5/apache2 not existing, so I leave it out.

redmine deploy database error

somehow the scripts are failing suddenly.

gem error

After chef is done, we're ready to run rake db:migrate manually, but get the following error:

Missing the i18n 0.4.2 gem. Please gem install -v=0.4.2 i18n

That's because gem_package (chef resource) uses the chef version of gem (/opt/vagrant_ruby/bin/gem), not the system one (See which gem: /usr/bin/gem).

package "libapache2-mod-passenger" in recipe[redmine::rails] installs /usr/bin/gem.

Resources:

• https://github.com/ridecharge/presentation-quick-chef#make-a-cookbook-to-handle-our-app
• http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Resources#Resources-GemPackageOptions

We can fix it by adding a gem_binary_path attribute in our cookbook (and force it to be configured).

mysql root error

If you forget to set chef.json[:mysql][:server_root_password] in your Vagrantfile, this error appears:

FATAL: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: execute[mysql-install-privileges] (mysql::server line 105) had an error: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1' ---- Begin output of /usr/bin/mysql -u root -p234kj234asf < /etc/mysql/grants.sql ---- STDERR: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
