    The yum install rubygem-chef-server, throws a conflict when installing ruby-ee.x86_64 1.8.7-6.2011.03.frameos
    The install worked only after I excluded it.

  2. rubiojr says:

    Right Yitzhak. FrameOS ruby-ee isn’t compatible with RBEL right now. Excluding it is a good choice.

    Can’t get this running. I get the API gui at 4000 but nothing at 4040.

    CentOS 6.2 x64
