[chef] Re: Chef 11.0.11 to 12

[Mark Mzyk < >]

Hi Simon,

The built in upgrade process only works with Chef Server 11.1 or greater, so you need to upgrade from 11.0.11 to 11.1 or greater first, then make the jump to 12.

It is possible to make the jump from version less than 11.1, but it's not currently supported and takes a lot of manual work. You can see what it takes in this issue: https://github.com/chef/opscode-omnibus/issues/463

I'd recommend you upgrade first to 11.1 and then try again.

Thanks,

Mark Mzyk

Hi there,

 

I am trying to upgrade from chef 11.0.11 to 12 and I get the following error at the end of the upgrade:

Do you have any ideas how I can resolve this?
