I am trying to install zenoss on ubuntu using chef.
When I run chef-client I get this error. I do not know how to resolve.

This is a problem with the solr startup. On your Chef server, make sure chef-solr is running. I suspect it isn't. Most likely this is an issue with permissions. Make sure that both /var/run/chef and /var/log/chef are owned by chef.
