Unable to install Rails gem on CentOS virtual machine using Chef-Solo

I am trying to set up a Rails environment on CentOS 6.3 64bit using Vagrant and Chef-Solo.

The rails cannot be installed when using the chef, with an error message,

Mixlib :: ShellOut :: CommandTimeout: rbenv_gem [rails] (main :: default line 21) had an error: Mixlib :: Shell
Out :: CommandTimeout: command timed out:

How to solve this?

okr

  • OS: Mac OS X 10.8.2
  • Virtual Box: 4.2.12
  • tramp: 1.1.5
  • Boss: 11.4.0
  • knife solo: 0.3.0

my steps

1. create a stray VM

$ vagrant box add centos https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7225008/Vagrant/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-minimal.box`
$ vagrant init centos
$ vagrant up

2. create a chef repository and install a chef on VM

$ knife solo init chefrepo
$ knife solo prepare vagrant@192.168.33.10 # vagrant VMs IP

OpsCode Public Cookbook 3.import

$ knife cookbook site vendor rbenv 

it imports the rbenv cookbook to chefrepo / cookbooks / rbenv

4.Create my cookbook and change default.rb

$ knife cookbook create main -o site-cookbooks
$ vi site-cookbooks/main/recipes/default.rb


include_recipe 'rbenv::default'
include_recipe 'rbenv::ruby_build'

rbenv_ruby "2.0.0-p0" do
  global true
end

rbenv_gem "rails" do
  ruby_version "2.0.0-p0"
end

5.cook

$ knife solo cook vagrant@192.168.33.10

.
