I am receiving an error with my ‘knife bootstrap windows winrm FQDN’ command. It keeps timing out, and I’m not sure what I can do.

 C:\Users\USER>knife bootstrap windows winrm myserver.net
Bootstrapping Chef on myserver.net
Enter your password:
ERROR: Network Error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. - connect(2) (http://myserver.net:5985)
Check your knife configuration and network settings

When I run: knife cookbook upload --all

This is returned:

I checked the server logs with chef-server-ctl tail

But it doesn’t seem like anything is there:

Any suggestions on why I can’t upload cookbooks? Where can I go to see more detailed errors? I’m at a loss. Thank you.
