Chef recipe to write redis.yml on Engine Yard Cloud

default.rb

# ey-cloud-recipes/cookbooks/redis-yml/recipes/default.rb

if ['app_master', 'app'].include?(node[:instance_role])
  redis_instance = node['utility_instances'].find { |instance| instance['name'] == 'redis' }
  
  if redis_instance
    node[:applications].each do |app, data|
      template "/data/#{app}/shared/config/redis.yml"do
        source 'redis.yml.erb'
        owner node[:owner_name]
        group node[:owner_name]
        mode 0655
        backup 0
        variables({
          :environment => node[:environment][:framework_env],
          :hostname => redis_instance[:hostname]
        })
      end
    end
  end
end

redis.yml.erb

# ey-cloud-recipes/cookbooks/redis-yml/templates/default/redis.yml.erb

<%= @environment %>:
  host: <%= @hostname %>
  port: 6379

Do these files get added to the right place automatically or would I need to copy these over manually? I'm specifically talking about redis.yml.erb, which doesn't seem to show up after applying the custom recipes. I've created config/redis.yml with a development environment setting, but the file is never overwritten in production.

I am having the same issue using the same recipe. Were you able to figure it out? The recipe matches the api-keys recipe that works fine.

Should this logic also include node[:instance_role] == 'solo', to also function for a small staging environment?

Anyone here have any luck with this recipe?

UPDATE AFTER SPEAKING W ENGINE YARD

@parhamr - you are correct. That was one problem. The second problem was an issue with the redis recipe:

Needed to change (this may be updated at this point) redis/templates/default/redis.monitrc.erb to:

check process redis-<%= @profile %>
with pidfile <%= @pidfile %>
  start program = "/usr/sbin/redis-server <%= @configfile %>"
  stop program = "/usr/bin/redis-cli -p <%= @port %> shutdown"
  group redis-util

The problem was that start program was looking at /usr/bin/ instead of /usr/sbin/.
