Hi

I’m having real trouble getting chef-client installed on one of our devices. It’s more a gem problem, but not sure where best to ask this question…

192.168.1.136 ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::DependencyError) 192.168.1.136 Unable to resolve dependencies: chef requires net-ssh (~> 2.1.3)

But, further up the script:–

192.168.1.136 Successfully installed net-ssh-2.6.7 192.168.1.136 Successfully installed net-ssh-gateway-1.2.0 192.168.1.136 Successfully installed net-ssh-multi-1.2.0

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I used to have a separate rube files for highly common use sources, for example, FileOperate.rb, Log.rb etc. I tried to just put these file under the same folder with default.rb but chef could not recognize them. I tried convert them to library sources, but it was very hard to use and could not support arguments. How can I reuse some highly common source? I also tried to put them in an independent cookbook, but did not make it.

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.

Hello everyone,

I am currently using Chef on an architecture with a chef-server and a lot of nodes. For some reason, we’d like to set all the configuration on json file (role, environments, nodes and data_bags) but the knife command “from file” does not offer the possibility to update an object by reading this json file. It actually destroys the object and create another, which can be inconvenient for the nodes. Is there an alternative solution to do so ?

Per some articles I have found, I am in the process of adding apache to my chef server and using the mod_proxy as a balancer to 8 instances of chef-server (using OPTIONS=-c8 in the startup config for said server.) As part of this process, the URL for the chef-server, as used by the clients, is changing from http://HOST:4000/ to https://HOST/ (:443 being implied.)
My question is how can I “push” this change using chef to the clients.
Thanks.

Hi All,
I am writing a recipe to install dynatrace .
in the Execute command ,is there an option for silent installation ?

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)

Hi,
While doing knife bootstrapping,where the logs will be stored?Is there anyway to stream the knife bootstrapping progress?
