问题
I have download and installed chef-server-core_12.x DPKG package on ubuntu 13.x
chef-server-ctl reconfigure ran successfully
but when i try URL http://chef.example.com i get following page saying chef server API thats all, i didn't find any login info etc anywhere. How do i get webui interface, is there anything i missed?
Chef Server API
This is the main endpoint for all of the Chef API's. In general, none of these have any HTML representations, and the vast majority of them require that you are sending properly authenticated requests. So while it's neat that you came to visit, you probably won't find what you are looking for here.
You can manage your organization's infrastructure interactively using the Chef Management Console
Here is there services status

Starting in Chef Server 12 (side note, you installed a pre-release test version, please don't confuse this for a final release) the web interface is a paid, premium feature. You can install it via chef-server-ctl install opscode-manage. It is free up to 25 nodes or for the first 30 days, after that you should check the current Premium Chef pricing details.
