Hmmm I wonder if you are hitting this because Chef Client 12 turns SSL verification mode on by default and the server now ships with Chef Client 12.

Since your logs indicate that you are just going over localhost (i.e. everything is installed on the same server), you don't need to worry about ssl for requests to localhost, try the following:

1) $ find / -name open_source_chef12_upgrade.rb
2) $ (nano|emacs|vi) <file from above>
3) At line 344 (right above EOH) add: ssl_verify_mode :verify_none

4) Re-run migration (but if you re-install the Chef Server 12 package, you will have to repeat step 3 since it will overwrite your file edit)

 

Let me know if that works for you or at least changes the error up!

Hi,

 

I wanted to upgrade my Chef Server 11.0.8-1 to 12.0.8. I found an article that I have to upgrade to 11.1 first and then go to 12.0.8

 

I upgraded to 11.1 completely but when I try to upgrade 11.1 to 12.0.8 I got this error:

 

:~# chef-server-ctl upgrade

Open source Chef 11 server detected.

Would you like to upgrade? [yN]

y

Upgrading the open source Chef 11 server.
