[Sivakumar Gopalan < >]

         I am using open source chef server,for a past few days my server setup is not working it shows error when i use knife commnand like this:

ERROR: Server returned error for https://mychefserver.example.com/cookbooks?num_versions=all, retrying 1/5 in 4s
ERROR: Server returned error for https://mychefserver.example.com/cookbooks?num_versions=all, retrying 2/5 in 6s
ERROR: Server returned error for https://mychefserver.example.com/cookbooks?num_versions=all, retrying 3/5 in 10s
ERROR: Server returned error for https://mychefserver.example.com/cookbooks?num_versions=all, retrying 4/5 in 17s
ERROR: Server returned error for https://mychefserver.example.com/cookbooks?num_versions=all, retrying 5/5 in 62s
ERROR: bad gateway

It looks like there is something wrong with the configuration. Do you have a domain example.com in your local network ? If not then you need to check if you have given a right FDQN [1] for your chef server.
