[chef] Re: ERROR: No socketless chef-zero server

Can you paste your knife bootstrap command? and also your knife.rb? Some obvious things to check which you probably might have already verified...

Did you try running the chef-zero  run with log_level debug?

Are you using any other name for the host other than localhost?

Your /etc/hosts does have localhost bound to 127.0.0.1

This is unlikely, but is it possible you attempted too many runs of your chef-zero run?

I'm getting the following using chef-client 12.3 with chef-zero 4.2.1:

ERROR: No socketless chef-zero server on given port 8889

I have a centos VM running under Vagrant, on a private network. I then run chef-zero on the same private network:

chef-zero -H 10.0.5.1

And use knife to bootstrap. The run fails when trying to create the client with the following stacktrace:

ChefZero::ServerNotFound: No socketless chef-zero server on given port 8889

I tried running chef-client with both --no-listen and --listen, but got the same error in both cases.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
