Chef recipe not working

  • 772

I am working on chef and vagrant. I am trying to configure nginx with php-fpm and spin-up new server using chef-solo. Here is the configuration of my vagrant file. 

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu-15.10"
  config.vm.box_url = 'https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/vagrant/wily/current/wily-server-cloudimg-amd64-vagrant-disk1.box'

  config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "182.217.46.65"
  config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
    chef.run_list = [
      "recipe[nginx-php-fpm]"
    ]
  end

When I run vagrant up everything runs perfect but nginx do not install and in stacktrace of vagrant instance I get below exceptions.

While nginx is already defined as dependency in my metadata.rb file. I got these errors in /var/chef/cache/chef-stacktrace.out of vagrant instance. I would highly appreciate any help for where to look in.

Thanks

  1. If you've made the dependency known in your cookbook's metadata.rb, the next step chef-solo will take is to look for a cookbook named nginx.

    This means the cookbook must be downloaded/supplied to the running vagrant box in some manner.

    You may want to explore using Berkshelf on your host machine with cookbook retrieval.

    Berkshelf is included in ChefDK.
