Hi Adam,

I have the same error and problem. Instead of editing nginx.conf, I found the chef server config file (/etc/chef-server/chef-server-running.json) on the chef server and changed the nginx config there:

    "nginx": {
      "enable": true,
      "ha": false,
      "dir": "/var/opt/chef-server/nginx",
      "log_directory": "/var/log/chef-server/nginx",
      "ssl_port": 443,
 ---->"enable_non_ssl": true,
      "non_ssl_port": 80,

After making this change and rebooting, the nginx.conf file seems no longer to be configured for SSL. However, my problem still remains, I still receive the following error. I have verified that the file /etc/chef-server/chef-validator.pem on the Chef Server and /etc/chef/validation.pem on the workstation are identical. Anybody?
