[chef] Re: Not able to create Environments and Roles using Chef-solo and knife

Hi

    Can someone please help me? Do we have any plug in to create Roles, Environments in chef-solo like how we do using knife (knife environment create ENVIRONMENT, knife role create ROLE).

 

Thanks & Regards

Hi

I am installed chef-solo using curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh | bash

But, When i am trying to create Roles and Environments, i am getting below error:

knife role create test ERROR: Your private key could not be loaded from /etc/chef/client.pem Check your configuration file and ensure that your private key is readable

As i am using chef-solo, i don't have /etc/chef/client.pem (i guess this will be available in Chef server and client model).

And i think knife is not best option in chef-solo as most knife commands are basically wrappers around uploading and downloading data to/from a chef server (If i am correct).

So, Chef experts, could you please help/guide me how to create roles, environments and deployment using chef-solo.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards
