The chef server will not start - starting the chef server B 16011 Fail
olr How do I deal with below?
/etc/init.d/chef-server-webui start
* Starting chef-server-webui
~ In 15468
...fail!
root@li409-115:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/chef-server start
* Starting chef-server
~ In 16011
...fail!
There is nothing in the log files in /var/log/chef/server.log or Server-webui.log
starting the chef client and running solr.
So ... how to decide?

Workaround:
-
Make sure the chef-server-webui service is stopped: sudo / etc / init.d / chef-server-webui stop
-
Start the web user interface manually (it will write to the console, not the log file): sudo / usr / sbin / chef-server-webui
-
When the process is finished ("Successfully bound to port 4040"), stop it with Ctrl-C
-
Start the chef-server-webui service: sudo / etc / init.d / chef-server-webui start
The service should now start and log into / var / log / chef / server-webui.log.

I looked through this link and it worked for me https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-3204 I ran below commands on my chef VM server (ubuntu 12.04). You may need sudo su. I think my problem was that couchdb was not working. Please note that consistency is important
