Did you update your *.pem files and knife.rb to make your chef workstation 
compatible with your Chef 12 server? The format is totally different.

Subject: [chef] chef server 12 issues (Sorry, I can't find what you are 
looking for)

I have been successfully using Chef with a non-hosted Chef Server for quite 
some time. I recently installed a new Chef Server 12 server and the latest 
ChefDK.  Now, I'm unable to use the "knife cookbook upload" command to upload 
cookbooks to the new Chef server. Knife displays the HTML (ugh) response from 
the server, which includes the 404 HTTP status code and helpful message: 
Sorry, I can't find what you are look for.

In fact, the server appears to return 404 for lots of knife commands (e.g. 
"knife role list", "knife role create ROLE", "knife cookbook list", "knife 
client list", etc.).  It appears to work fine for "knife user show USER" 
(returning my user entry) and appears to be access checking fine, for 
commands like "knife user list", which tells me I'm not the pivotal user.  
But why is it not allowing me to create roles and upload cookbooks, etc?

I'd like to not have to revert to Chef 11.

Note: I installed the bare (no premium features) of Chef Server 12.  As far 
as I can tell, this is all that should be required.
