Errata

The weblink to download Enterprise Chef http://www.getchef.com/contact/on-premises takes you to a page where you can enter details but nothing seems to happen - it simply returns to the form page. No emails are sent. I checked this with Mozilla (with a AdBloc+ and Ghostery) but the behaviour was identical in Chrome with no blockers. Further more - locating the download by finding the downloads here: https://downloads.chef.io/chef-server/redhat/ no longer offers the choice of version 11.1.8 - the one stipulated in the text. The highest 11 version available is 11.1.7 and then the next one is 12.0.0. Given a major number change it's quite possible there have been some big changes.

execute 'chef-server-ctl reconfigure' should be replaced with execute 'private-chef-ctl reconfigure' Otherwise kitchen converge will fail on that task, since there is no chef-server-ctl in private-chef-11.1.8-1

Example 15.5 contains ' - role[webmaster]' and should be ' - role[webserver]'. Example 15.5 contains ' roles_path: ../../.roles' and should be ' roles_path: ../../roles' Prior to running kitchen converge prod-centos65, the Policyfile.rb must be renamed to Policyfile.rb.xxx otherwise an error is thrown: Chef::PolicyBuilder::Policyfile::UnsupportedFeature: Policyfile does not work with an Environment configured. Example 15.13 contains 2 occurrences of ' - role[webmaster]' and should be ' - role[webserver]'. Example 15.13 contains ' roles_path: ../../.roles' and should be ' roles_path: ../../roles'

Private chef download url causes error. I've created an issue on the learning chef code repo. https://github.com/learningchef/learningchef-code/issues/5

The line: execute 'chef-server-ctl reconfigure' Should be: execute 'private-chef-ctl reconfigure' because we just installed the RPM of the version 11.1.8.1 of private-chef, that doesn't contain chef-server-ctl. The error we receive using chef-server-ctl is: No such file or directory - chef-server-ctl

suites: - name: prod provisioner: client_rb: environment: production driver: network: - ["private_network", {ip: "192.168.33.15"}] run_list: - role[webmaster] attributes: The 'role[webmaster]' will cause the 'kitchen converge' that runs later to fail. You had the reader create the 'webserver' role, not the 'webmaster' role. Your target audience may have a difficult time figuring out why this does not work.

- role[webmaster] As with the earlier mistake, this is a repeat of using 'webmaster' instead of 'webserver'.

$ kitchen destroy dev-centos65 Text above indicates 'kitchen destroy' should be run with no parameters to destroy both created instances. The command here is wrong, (dev-centos65 should not be entered), but the output appears correct (both instances are destroyed).
