[Jose Luis Gordo Romero < >]

Hi,

I have a problem running chef-client, the chef server+clients (ubuntu 9.04 server 32 aelastic ami) was running ok, and the client registration/execution stops working:

Running chef-client -t kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk -j /tmp/instance-config/chef.client.deploy.json -l debug

/tmp/instance-config/chef.client.deploy.json:
{
        "chef": { "server_fqdn": "auto.x.com" },
        "run_list": [ "role[ubuntu_base]", "role[webserver_base]", "role[webserver_php]" ]
}
