Hi,

It looks like i had a network problem and it was fixed and i was able to download all the data from the old server.

now i have a problem when i try to upload the data.

all data is uploaded but not the cookbooks.

attached is the log file with the errrors

Looks like more networking issues?

The relevant error is: 

DEBUG: Sending HTTP Request via GET to chef11.anyclipsrv.info:443/environments/qa1

ERROR: Network Error: Connection refused - connect(2)

Check your knife configuration and network settings

This means that either nothing is listening on port 443 of that host, or you have a firewall rule to refuse the connection and send a RST packet.

But earlier in your log, you have:

DEBUG: Sending HTTP Request via GET to chef11.anyclipsrv.info:443/data/anyclip/sqs

…which indicates a successful request was made to that host.

Does this error reproduce on every cookbook upload?

I am able to run commands such knife client list and knife role list but it fails in the cookbook upload so i guess that my knife.rb configuration is correct.

This seems to rule out the possibility that the server stopped running. How is hostname resolution for chef11.anyclipsrv.info configured? DNS? /etc/hosts ?

 

a minor issue on the download is that environment was downloaded to /var/chef/environments and not to transfer-repo folder where all other stuff was downloaded.

Thanks

Michael
