A current Chef recipe isn't running because of a bug in version 0.10.10. How can I upgrade the version of Chef that Vagrant uses, to 0.10.12? I don't want to just update it for the current instance of the VM - I keep destroying and rebuilding those. Do I need to change something in the Vagrant base box, or something in my (physical) system's installation? Using the Vagrant plugin vagrant-omnibus worked great for me: vagrant plugin install vagrant-omnibus You can then simply configure your chef version in the Vagrantfile before doing the provisioning: config.omnibus.chef_version = :latest You

I am new to Chef and Ruby I need to pass two variables to Chef on the command line and have those variables available in a recipe. How I can capture these values and get them in Chef? I need something like this: before_deploy command execute param1 param2 deploy{ param1/param2} Where param1 and param2 get their values at run-time from the command-line. When you provision the machine by running chef-solo or chef-client you cannot provide any arguments to these commands that can be visible to recipes. Chef recipes work only with attributes . Good thing (or not so good) is that attributes can be

I use vagrant and chef to develop my own blog in a virtual machine. To have easy access to the wordpress folder I created a shared folder. Basically the wordpress folder is on my host and gets mounted as shared folder in /var/www/wordpress in the VM. The configuration is similar to: config.vm.share_folder "foo", "/guest/path", "/host/path" My problem is that the ownership in my VM is always vagrant:vagrant even if I change it on my host. Ownership changes in the VM get ignored. I cannot use chown to set the ownership of the upload directory to www-data:www-data . It is possible to use chmod

How can you use a Chef recipe to set an environment variable? I need to set an environment variable using a Chef recipe. Can you provide an example of how to accomplish this? jodell If you need an env var set strictly within the Chef process, you can use ENV['foo'] = 'bar ' since it's a ruby process. If you need to set one for an execute provider , Chef exposes an environment hash: execute 'Bootstrap the database' do cwd "#{app_dir}/current" command "#{env_cmd} rake db:drop db:create db:schema:load RAILS_ENV=#{rails_env}" environment 'HOME' => "/home/#{app_user}" user app_user action :run not

I haven't yet come across a Chef resource that will copy/move files locally. For example, I want to download jetty hightide and unzip it. Once done, copy all the files into a particular folder, like this: # mv /var/tmp/jetty-hightide-7.4.5.v20110725/* /opt/jetty/ BTW, jettyhightide when unzipped, gives you a folder and inside that folder rest of the files are located. Hence unzip jetty-hightide-7.4.5.v20110725.zip -d /opt/jetty/ is useless because it will create a directory /opt/jetty/jetty-hightide-7.4.5.v20110725/* whereas what I really want is /opt/jetty/* . Hence I am looking for a local
