[chef] Re: create databag by chef-solo

[Lamont Granquist < >]

You should use chef-client -z instead of chef-solo.  The chef core data 
bag libraries assumes it is talking to a server, and does not know how 
to create data bags on the filesystem under chef-solo. Chef-client -z 
fires up a minimal chef server API in the background so that you get a 
chef-solo-like local interface but all the APIs in core chef which 
expect to talk to a server can talk to a server.
