[chef] Re: knife on windows

[Maven User < >]

Ok, made it by this - not sure if this was the right thing to do, but I pulled down the pem files from the master server and added it to my local .chef directory.

I'm a step further (I hit the tar problem that is listed on the windows/chef page http://wiki.opscode.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=16089551), but now I'm having an issue when trying to install the chef-client cookbook:

knife cookbook site install chef-client

I can't tell if there's something really wrong with the version string being passed in.  The error message has a two single quotes at the end of the version string:


error: pathspec '1.0.2'' did not match any file(s) known to git.

Is there a configuration file broken/borked somewhere that I'm missing?

Hi all -

I'm struggling to understand what is needed to manipulate the recipes/cookbooks on the chef server.

I have the following configuration:

Ubuntu 11.X VM running chef master
Ubuntu 11.X VM running chef client
My local windows box running knife

From my local box, I should be able to trigger deployments correct?

I'm also getting this error:

ERROR: OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL_connect SYSCALL returned=5 errno=0 state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A

I'm guessing this has something to do with the client.pem file I pulled down from the master server.

Any suggestions to either of the two questions above?
