Is this a VM or a physical machine?  What happened to the old IP address?  If it's a VM you could just attach another virtual NIC and assign the old IP address assuming it isn't being used elsewhere.

If you have console access (assuming you do if you can run commands), make sure to check the routes/iptables to ensure the new IP will allow access.

now what about the chef server itself. I can't seem to access the interface. I keep getting a gateway timed out, I tried to run chef-server-ctl start to start all of the services

If you are using DNS: change the A record in DNS to point to the new IP address. Everything should start working again within the next few hours (depending on how long your TTL is). Depending on your setup, some clients may start working again while others will still be failing. You can speed up the process by restarting your DNS server and/or flushing DNS caches.

If you are using the IP address directly, you will have no choice but to go around to each machine and update it.

Hey Guys,

My Chef Server attained a new IP address; therefore, none of my clients can connect to chef server and I can't even access the interface for chef anymore. Any help?
