[chef] RE: Re: knife windows, what am I missing?

["Fouts, Chris" < >]

Thanks. I’m trying to install chefdk from here http://downloads.getchef.com/chef-dk/redhat/#/0.3.0

 

Which version works for RHEL 5.x? It’s not clear from the page. I know the latest version (v0.3.2 is for RH6.)

Then basically, the knife you're using doesn't know about knife Windows.

Check your system for multiple knifes (knives?) and figure out which knife has knife Windows installed and make sure you use that one.

Personally, I prefer to ensure I only have chefdk on my workstation. Really helps clean up these problems.

Not chefdk, but rather chef-client package itself. “knife” command does not show any winrm sub-commands of course.

 

Thanks!

Chris,

Are you using chefdk? If so, try chef gem list instead to see if knife-Windows is installed into chef's ruby.

If you just try "knife" does that return a list of knife winrm commands?

[chef-repos]# gem list | grep windows

knife-windows (0.8.2)

[chef-repos]# knife winrm help

FATAL: Cannot find sub command for: 'winrm help'

 

 

Of course the following command breaks

 

Knife bootstrap windows winrm …..
