Hi Charles,

Here’s the output that I get when running those two commands:

```

ERROR: The data in your request was invalid

Response: Field ‘username’ invalid

```

```

ERROR: Chef::Exceptions::ValidationFailed: Option name’s value DMA does not match regular _expression_ /^[a-z0-9\-_]+$/

```

I excluded the yajl warning output, which probably helped obscure the actual error for you. Hope that helps! I’ll also file an issue with the chef-server project because it appears that when these commands fail they still return 0.

Can you run a `chef-server-ctl user-list` and also a `chef-server-ctl org-list` to verify that the users and organizations were created like you expected. There are a few things from your script that might cause problems, and I’ll double-check locally once I get a server up and running shortly:

1) The username might not allow uppercase characters

2) Same for the organization name, and the long-form name especially needs to be contained in quotes for it to be recognized as a single command line argument.

Hi Stephen, I appreciate the quick response. 

No, that output is quite lengthy of course, as is noted in the instructions "Because the Chef server is composed of many different services that work together to create a functioning system, this step may take a few minutes to complete." I do not see any obvious errors in that output. 

However, I am still puzzled why the security credential files are apparently not being generated. 

Based on your response, my plan would be to leave the error as is until a new package is released, rather than compiling on my own.

Hi Charles,

The libyajl warning is a know issues and is fixed on the master branch of the Chef Server.

This is simply a warning and, as far as we know, doesn’t cause any errors in the operation of the Chef Server.

Is the output that you posted the complete output of the script you have run?

Greetings,

I am attempting a new Chef Server install on Vagrant Trusty64 (14.04) and am getting on every invocation of chef-server-ctl:

=========

the ffi-yajl and yajl-ruby gems have incompatible C libyajl libs and should not be loaded in the same Ruby VM
falling back to ffi which might work (or might not, no promises)
ffi-yajl/json_gem is deprecated, these monkeypatches will be dropped shortly
the ffi-yajl and yajl-ruby gems have incompatible C libyajl libs and should not be loaded in the same Ruby VM

=========

Here is the provisioning script i have written to be run by Vagrant:

=========

hostname piernas.calavera.biz

apt-get -y update

wget https://web-dl.packagecloud.io/chef/stable/packages/ubuntu/trusty/chef-server-core_12.0.1-1_amd64.deb

dpkg -i chef-server-core_12.0.1-1_amd64.deb

chef-server-ctl reconfigure

chef-server-ctl user-create CharlesTBetz Charles Betz "> testPass --filename /vagrant/char-chef-cred

chef-server-ctl org-create DMA Digital Management Academy --association_user CharlesTBetz --filename /vagrant/dma-chef-cred

===========


This is on a clean, vanilla VirtualBox with only apt-get update run, and then following the instructions at http://docs.chef.io/server/install_server.html.

I am running this on a late model Mac Air and have concerns about the capacity, but this would not seem to be a capacity error.

I have fully qualified the hostname.

I also notice that I do not see the security files created (char-chef-cred, dma-chef-cred)

Thoughts? Apologies if this is a total noob error. I see other server requirements (ntp, smtp, etc) that would also not seem relevant on an initial sandbox install.

Thanks for any assistance. This is to enable a simulation for a Masters course in software engineering.
