Chef Apache2 web_app Configuration

I am trying to provision a Apache using chef using the Opscode cookbook. I have configured my default attributes like this below. I have created a template file /vagrant/sites-available/sof.conf (and even /vagrant/sites-available/sof.conf.erb just to be sure).

It never evaluates the template or enables the site. What is wrong?

(Using chef-server if that changes anything)

{
    "overrides": {},
    "defaults": {
        "apache2": {
            "web_app": {
                "name": "sof",
                "server_name": "localhost",
                "server_aliases": [],
                "docroot": "/vagrant/web"
            },
            "user": "www-data",
            "dir": "/vagrant",
            "log_dir": "/vagrant/logs/http"
        }
    }
}
Solution

  • From the examples section in the doc it seems that you can declare web_apps only from within other cookbooks not via node attributes.
