We are behind  a firewall, and are looking at installing the Open Source Version of Chef.

Figuring out how to accommodate these little gotchas is the best way to get it working and learn about it.

What is the reasoning behind trying the free Hosted Chef trial?

Not sure knife is working correctly.

Not finding require entries makes chef-server abort before it can even create validation.pem.

I ran shef, and it loaded but any commands indicate "No such file or directory - /etc/chef/client.pem".  Cannot create it without validation.pem.

Is there another way to create validation.pem?

Does 'irb -rrubygems -rmerb-assets' work?

Have you considered using one of the automated installers for the Chef Server, like Fletcher's Knife Server plugin? [0] 

Or chef-solo running chef-server cookbook?

gem env looks OK to me.  ~/.gem does not exist, but that should not throw a wrench into the works.  Do you see something odd?

What configuration entries are necessary for chef to find those entries listed

in the init.rb require statements?

There must be something that's pointing ruby gems in the wrong direction when looking for the libraries.

Are you using rvm or rbenv? Does your `env` contain anything ruby/gem related? Does `gem env` include the paths you expect it to?
