RabbitMQ does not start on Oracle Enterprise Linux, ruby_block[supervise_rabbitmq_sleep] action run hungs up/stops configuration


After installation of chef 11 server on oracle enterprise linux, while configuring using below command hangs up/stops at this line ruby_block[supervise_rabbitmq_sleep] action run

#chef-server-ctl reconfigure

Solution: 

I had to modify the below file, added oracle. So that recipe
"runint::upstart" is include and not "runint::sysvinit", then the configuration started executing next steps...

 /opt/chef-server/embedded/cookbooks/runit/recipes/default.rb

 Changed file looks like this

    Thanks for this! I'm surprised this hasn't been folded into the mainline configuration yet.

    If you're running amazon linux you'll have to add /^6|2014.03/ (the 2014.03) to the if statement just below as well!

For chef server I downloaded the CentOS 6.4 and installed on my box using virtualbox.

Steps I followed to install Chef 11 server 1. Download the relevant platform package from the opscode site; you can use curl/wget. If you don't have wget then you can install by running #yum install -y wget" #wget https://opscode-omnibus-packages.s3.amazonaws.com/el/6/x86_64/chef-server-11.0.4-1.el6.x86_64.rpm 2.
