[chef] Re: Re: 403 "Forbidden" when uploading cookbooks with large files

Hello there,

It appears that you haven't actually reset your s3_url_ttl value. 

Here's a bit of exploration into the expiry times:

irb(main):008:0> t1 = DateTime.parse("22/Apr/2014 09:51:17 +0000").to_time

=> 2014-04-22 02:51:17 -0700

irb(main):009:0> t2 = Time.at(1398159865)

=> 2014-04-22 02:44:25 -0700

irb(main):010:0> t1 < t2

=> false

The runtime of your upload is 22 mins, and the expiry is 7 prior to the failed request, which leaves the ttl at 900s, not the 1800 that you said intended to change it to.

Did you simply change it in the chef_server_running.json file? That won't fully do the trick, in fact, that's just a state dump of the running server once it's been configured, so manually changing values there won't help.

Follow the guide on this page (linked directly to the value to change - http://docs.opscode.com/config_rb_chef_server.html#erchef) for updating /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb and reconfiguring your server.

HTH!

Hi,

I'm running 11.12.2 already:

(...)

If I upload the cookbooks from a location with a faster link, it works fine.

So the problem basically is a combination of a file which is large enough and/or a link which is slow enough; it would be great if a task like cookbook uploading success or failure didn't depend on on these factors (at least, not so much, or give a clear explanation and a possible fix).
