[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: 500 "Internal Server Error" (Net::HTTPFatalError) when running chef client.

Actually,

This is commonly experienced when your server version is under 0.7.12 and 
your client is equal or greater then 0.7.12

There was some break points in the chef versions that cause hiccups.

Server Version equal or less 0.7.10, Client Version = 0.7.12 + = fail
Server Version = 0.7.12-0.7.6 Client Version 0.7.14 = should work

But mainly the chef-client is trying to find the cookbook  _provider_files 
for lwrp; however how the error is handled on the server side is less then 
graceful... (http 500) 

So either downgrade your chef gem on the client, or upgrade your server....
