Mohammad,

Is it possible the admin user that it tries to use by default isn't actually an admin user on your system? While the upgrade command tries to use sensible defaults, it can't guess everything in all situations and if you changed the default admin user it might fail in this way.

If you have a user that you know is an admin user, you can tell the upgrade command to use that user with the --user option. You'll also need to supply that user's key with the --key command.

The upgrade command has an extensive help menu that you can access with chef-server-ctl upgrade --help that explains all the possible options. That said, I'd recommend just specifying the user and key and trying again.

Thanks,

Mark Mzyk

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.
