[chef] Re: Re: New errors after upgrading Chef clients to 11.6

[Russell Bateman < >]

Ah, thanks for replying. I did see a post on stackoverflow.com discussing chef-server.rb, but the problem wasn't exactly or even related, I think, to mine. As it sits, my Chef server installation, which is 11.0.8-1, does not have this file. At /etc/chef, I see nothing. At /etc/chef-server, I see

admin.pem
chef-server-running.json
chef-server-secrets.json
chef-validator.pem
chef-webui.pem

Did I succeed in misinstalling? (I used dpkg on Ubuntu Precise server.) Note that the web UI works perfectly well at this point and, as I say below, other stuff works like knife and even chef-client from other nodes.

check the chef wiki for chef-server.rb, change bookshelf url  there, and run sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure

I've upgraded to 11.6 and am getting the following out of chef-client. I though I'd paste the whole thing since it's short. I did try it with :debug in client.rb, but I didn't see anything different. It's trying to contact a URL on the Chef server that's not found. I'm not sure why it's trying http://chef/bookshelf instead of https://192.168.0.24.

(Note that, on another node, I'm getting a "Missing Cookbooks" error, which is perfect since the cookbook is missing, but running chef-client on that node appears to be working.)

Has anyone a suggestion? I see this unresolved ticket: https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-4069.

Many thanks.
