ubuntu 14.4 + chef 11.10 (<12) ==> No such file or directory - /etc/init.d/mongod

[tuky]

Launching the service fails, because mongod 3.2.1 in ubuntu is an upstart service, but chef < 12 defaults to init.d for ubuntu 14.4.

Here is the relevant Chef stacktrace part:

================================================================================
Error executing action `restart` on resource 'service[mongod]'

Errno::ENOENT

This is pretty analogous to https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-chef/+bug/1313646
Would you consider to fix this here or at least document this incompatibilty?

Thank you for the issue reporting. I had no issue in my servers and kitchen testing with ubuntu 14.4 . but I'll try to replay this issue and fix it.

Thank you.

Thank you. It really boils down to chef version < 12. I try to deploy in AWS OpsWorks and sadly I am stuck with version 11.10. I could get it to work with Amazon Linux though.

uh, ok. I was excluding chef-client v11 testing for ubuntu 14.04
testing now.
