issues with postgres 9.2 with postgresql cookbook

Toby Hede — 2013-05-25T04:46:15

Having some issues with the postgresql cookbook.

Using:
postgresql-cookbook 3.0.0
ubuntu 12.04 on vagrant (but I can replicate this behaviour on a 12.04
VM in teh cloud)

The install attempts to restart the pg server nmd is suddenly very
confused about the version

Error executing action `restart` on resource 'service[postgresql]'

---- Begin output of /etc/init.d/postgresql restart ----
STDOUT: * Restarting PostgreSQL 9.2 database server
[2013-05-24T11:05:41+00:00] FATAL:
Chef::Exceptions::EnclosingDirectoryDoesNotExist:
template[/etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf] (postgresql::server
line 60) had an error:
Chef::Exceptions::EnclosingDirectoryDoesNotExist: Parent directory
/etc/postgresql/9.1/main does not exist.


My recipe is basically:
------------------------------------------------------------
node.set['postgresql']['version'] = "9.2"
node.set['postgresql']['enable_pgdg_apt'] = true

include_recipe "postgresql::apt_pgdg_postgresql"
include_recipe "postgresql::server"
----------------------------

Never mind I had a typo, I'm trying the chef-full now.

Thanks!

Hi AJ,

Where do I get the chef-full template from?  I tried using chef-full in the
bootstrap options but it fails.

Thanks,
Jay

Something to consider maybe is to try using the omnibus installer for
Chef. The template is 'chef-full'. You'll get a fully installed Chef
to /opt with no conflicts with your system state. [0]

Hi AJ,

I am using the centos5-gem template.  I was able to figure out what it was
hanging on though, see the code
here<https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/knife/bootstrap/centos5-gems.erb#L25>.
 When running the command by hand on the remote system it was prompting for
several gems to overwrite.  This is probably because when the box was first
created I ran 'gem install chef' but then removed it but the other
dependencies weren't removed thus when the bootstrap ran it was continually
prompting to override but not displaying it to the user except the first
one.  This caused the run to hang.  I managed to get by it by running the
'gem update' manually then running the bootstrap again.

Thanks,
Jay

Which bootstrap template are you using? Can you please show the full
command issued and debug output from Knife Bootstrap by enabling the
Very Verbose flags (-VV)

Knife Bootstrap Hanging

JayP — 2013-05-24T23:44:34

Hi,

I am trying to bootstrap a node but it keeps hanging at this point no matter
what I enter in afterwards.

my.server
my.server rake's executable "rake" conflicts with /usr/bin/rake
my.server Overwrite the executable? [yN]

Any ideas as to why this might be hanging?  I am running in double verbose mode
but it doesn't tell me anything else.  Is there any place I can look on the
remote server for additional debugging?  

Thanks in advance,
Jay

Re: AWS OpsWorks custom

Zac Stevens — 2013-05-24T22:09:23


If I was doing this, I'd use Berkshelf.  I would create a Berksfile to
declare the cookbooks I was using.  The process to deploy updated cookbooks
would be:
 1) run "berks install" to copy them into a local directory
 2) created a tarball of the directory
 3) upload the tarball to S3
This can be trivially scripted.

Even as someone who has mostly used Chef in a client/server environment, I
don't think it's fair to describe OpsWorks as crippled.  It's old, sure,
but it's useful today - though I think Amazon are being incredibly
disingenuous in claiming that you can go ahead and use the community
cookbooks with it.

I looked at it for a project recently and decided that the older Chef
version would be an irritation, but not a deal-breaker.

Why not Hosted Chef?  For one thing, it can be painfully slow in some
regions.  My experience in ap-southeast-1 last year was not especially
positive.  For another, it's not free.  Though I think the pricing is
reasonable, cost sensitivities in bootstrapped projects make it a hard sell
(particularly when the quality of service is less that awesome).
Why not Open Source Chef?  Not necessarily any cheaper than Hosted (if
you're running it on AWS), and it's something

Re: Nagios cookbook NRPE LWRP

Morgan Blackthorne — 2013-05-24T21:54:29

This is actually simpler than I thought. The problem was that the LWRP was
manually setting "new_resource.updated_by_last_action(true)", so it was
always being flagged as updated. When in reality, simply removing that
allows the file provider to properly flag whether or not the resource has
been updated.

*nod* In theory, OpsWorks is great. In practice... losing the ability to
reliably use the vast amount of community cookbooks is a pretty strong
negative.

Cary,

There seems to be a CHANGELOG.md on the github repository. That should have
the information you want.

Liam Kirsher — 2013-05-24T20:52:08

There's no specific reason -- I'm just trying to find the quickest way
to setup deployment infrastructure.  OpsWorks looked like it would be
easy to set up, and integrated with all the other AWS services.
However, now that I'm aware of the chef version issue... not so much.
So, I'm setting up a Hosted Chef account now.
I'm sure I'll have more questions, though. Thanks for you help!

On May 20th AWS mentioned they were upgrading chef to version 11, but
there was no mention of /when/ that would be accomplished.

I don't know your requirements, but I do have to ask; is there a specific
reason you're looking at using OpsWorks instead of running Hosted Chef or
an Open Source Chef server? Until AWS upgrades OpsWorks to Chef 11, I think
it's a bit crippled, personally.

Noah,

Thanks for mentioning that! 
Is there any way to know which cookbooks work with OpsWorks and which
don't?  These are the ones I think I need:

(Along with other cookbooks they require, I guess.)

Thanks again.

Thanks, Peter!  That looks like what  was looking for.

Is the mirror a mirror of the master branch, or can you specify
different branches?
The repo is not a fork, I gather.

I may give this a try, although someone else made a comment that
OpsWorks version of Chef is old and does not support many of the opscode
community cookbooks.
So, I may have to come up with a different plan.

Joshua Timberman — 2013-05-24T19:10:22

Ohai,

As Mike indicated, it isn't easy to get the latest changes for an arbitrary cookbook update. For now the best bet is to go to the source tab on the cookbook and view the CHANGELOG.md, at least for Opscode's cookbooks. Given that ~15% of the total cookbooks on the site are maintained by Opscode, it's hard to speak to the hundreds of other cookbooks.

That said, I'll send an email later today with all the cookbook changes from releases this week, which is the latest release CHANGELOG.md entry for each one.

Cheers,
Joshua
