[chef] RE: chef-zero with vagrant and 127.0.0.1:8889/clients

[John Keiser < >]

Are you running chef-zero from your workstation or from the vm?  The problem 
is it can't access chef-zero (the /clients endpoint is perfectly valid).  I 
suspect you either need to run chef-zero from within the VM, or that you need 
to point the vm's chef_server_url at the IP of your workstation.

Subject: [chef] chef-zero with vagrant and 127.0.0.1:8889/clients

I am working with chef-zero and all is well when I run the playground 
commands from https://github.com/jkeiser/chef-zero

However when I try a simple vagrant run, vagrant throws

[2013-09-04T16:14:46+00:00] ERROR: Connection refused connecting to 
127.0.0.1:8889 for /clients, retry 1/5

I have fiddled to the best of skills with the vagrant chef options from 
http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/provisioning/chef_client.html

Here is the snipped from my Vagrant file:

  # If you have your own Chef Server, use the appropriate URL, which may be
  # HTTP instead of HTTPS depending on your configuration. Also change the
  # validation key to validation.pem.
  #
   config.vm.provision :chef_client do |chef|
     chef.chef_server_url = "http://127.0.0.1:8889";
     chef.validation_key_path = "path_to_any_pem_file.pem"

     # these are "other configuration options" 
http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/provisioning/chef_client.html
     # none of them seem to really do anything?
     chef.client_key_path = "mahpath"
     chef.node_name = "plswork"
     chef.validation_client_name = "whyunowork"
   end



How do I get the vagrant/chef-client to stop trying to use /clients ?


vagrant --version
Vagrant version 1.2.7

chef-client --version
Chef: 11.4.0

chef-zero
>> Starting Chef Zero (v1.5.5)...
