Trying to run chef-solo to bootstrap chef-server on OEL 6.2.. I installed chef-client via the omnibus installer.

I went through and modified all the recipes to include support for the oracle platform type, but now i'm getting a ruby error:

Turns out this was a problem with trying to run the chef-server bootstrap after installing chef via omnibus. I went back and installed chef via "gem install chef" and everything worked great with the chef-server bootstrap.
