Chef Server 12 -Managment Console URL

[msr...@gmail.com]

Hello All,

I installed Open Source Chef 12 RC server and also installed the Chef Manage.

Here are the docs links:
http://docs.getchef.com/#the-chef-server-title
http://docs.getchef.com/ctl_chef_server.html#install

I could not find the URL to connect to the Chef Server 12 Mangement console
from the browser in the aforementioned documents.

Using IP address does not work, it says that URL is for Chef APIs.

What is the URL to connect to the Chef 12 Management Console. Thanks.
I assumed that it would be same as Chef 11.

I working my way through the examples in webinar in Chef 12.

Thanks,

I tried using the host name IP address and provided the used admin credentials those I created as server-up task it worked!

Did you work this out?

I just had this issue. In case anyone finds this post, the solution for me was to run the following after installing the console...

   sudo opscode-manage-ctl reconfigure

The commands executed in the same sequence will resolve your issue. 

1. Install Chef Server using the command:

rpm –ivh chef-server-12.0.7.el6.x86_86.rpm

chef-server-ctl install opscode-manage

chef-server-ctl install opscode-reporting -> This is optional incase you want to turn on reporting for chef-client runs on your nodes.

2. Run the command:

chef-server-ctl reconfigure

3. Run the command:

opscode-manage-ctl reconfigure

opscode-reporting-ctl reconfigure -> Only if you install Reporting feature in Step #1

you need to install  chef management console following https://docs.chef.io/install_server.html topic Chef Manage after that you need to enable port no 443 and 80 on the Chef server. In redhat you can do it with the following command

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT

so it will allow you to connect from other I.P address. Coming to URL you need to pass access it using https://I.P address thats it.
