Hi,

We have some problems when using this cookbook.

Error executing action run on resource 'ruby_block[Compile Custom OpsWorks Run List]'

NoMethodError

May I know how to fix it?

Does it relate ?

Thanks for your time

It seems that this recipe doesn't actually configure for ubuntu, the final when "debian" is only referencing the "platform" not the "platform_family". Included "ubuntu" but the package did not install properly. Soooo... I made a make shift block before it for ubuntu. I would have done a pull request but I am a complete chef/ruby noob so I doubt this is best practice but I figured it could help someone who could apply what I did in a better fashion. 🎱

 when "ubuntu"
    include_recipe "apt"

    execute "python-software-properties" do 
      command "apt-get install -y python-software-properties"
      action :run
    end

    execute "install php55" do
      #command "apt-get install -y php5"
      command "add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5 && apt-get update -y && apt-get install -y php5 php5-mcrypt php5-json"
      action :run
    end

    execute "restart apache2" do
      #command "apt-get install -y php5"
      command "service apache2 restart"
      action :run
    end

This works flawlessly on my Vagrant Ubuntu 12.04 provisioning. I might test it on AWS Opsworks later on. Keep in mind the repo installs apache 2.4 as a dependancy so running most apache2 recipes usually cause errors because there are some breaking changes between 2.4 and older versions. I hope this helps, thank you :)
