[chef] Troubles with chef client registration

[Dmitry V'yal < >]

Greetings anyone.

I'm completely new here. Let me introduce myself. My name is Dmitry and 
I'm going to use Chef to manage a web hosting server and several linux 
workstations.

Till now I've been experimenting with it in VirtualBox. I did a manual 
server installation as described at 
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Manual+Chef+Server+Configuration

And I've bootstrapped a test client on a separate guest os, following 
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Bootstrap+Chef+RubyGems+Installation

Now then I run a client, I get the following error on chef-server:

merb : worker (port 4000) ~ Started request handling: Tue May 11 
00:47:21 +0400 2010

On a client it looks like this:


 :/usr$
 sudo chef-client -l debug

(Net::HTTPServerException)

        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/chef/application.rb:57:in `run'
        from /usr/bin/chef-client:25


I updated all the gems on both hosts, now they're at 0.8.16 version, but 
the problem is still there.

I guess I did some trivial error, but I have no ideas where is it.

Can someone give any hints?
