"Gateway timed out" means that you have a proxy server (probably a reverse proxy in front of the Chef server), and the proxy server can't talk to the back end server.
When you restarted all your services, that flushed the DNS caches, and forced reloading with the new information immediately That's why things started working again for you.

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 servicesOn Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 1:25 PM, Kevin Keane Subscription < " target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window"> > wrote: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.Kevin Keane

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?--Nikhil Shah / System Administrator
