[chef] Re: Re: Cannot upload cookbooks to newly instantiated OSS server

[Cassiano Leal < >]

Thanks guys, but it didn’t work.

Here’s more details about my scenario.

I have the Chef server in a private subnet of a VPC. I connect to it by the means of a VPN that’s located in the public subnet of the VPC. It all works, I can access the Chef server (knife and the web UI), via the internal IP, which is also configured in knife.rb as my chef_server_url.

I created /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb with:

bookshelf[“vip”] = node[“ipaddress”]

and since it didn’t work I added

bookshelf[“url”] = node[“ipaddress”]

After each change I ran chef-server-ctl restart, but I keep getting the same error. Is there a way I can query these parameters (bookshelf[“vip”] and [“url”]) on the Chef server to be sure that they’re properly set?

Cassiano,

This is a common problem with the out-of-the-box OSS chef-server config when the server has a well-known IP address but not a public DNS name.

Everything is configured fine except for bookshelf["vip"], which must be set to node["ipaddress"] rather than node["fqdn"].

You can create a file /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb with content bookshelf["vip"] = node["ipaddress"].

Cheers,

Jay

Hi,

I’ve just installed an OSS Chef Server inside a VPC in AWS. I’m all set up and I can query the server from my workstation with knife just fine.

The problem is when I try to upload my cookbooks to the Chef server through Berkshelf. This is what I get:
