Chef: connection refused for cookbook upload
To summarize the IRC session at https://github.com/chef/irc_log_archives/blob/master/chef/2013/2/23.log:
Chef-server redirects api clients between its components (in this case erchef and bookshelf). These redirects are based on the FQDN of the chef-server. If the server doesn't have a valid FQDN at install time, this can result in redirects to https://localhost:443
.
One solution is to fix the FQDN on chef-server and run chef-server-ctl reconfigure
.
Another solution is to set a few options in /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb
(I had to create this file) and then run chef-server-ctl reconfigure
.
server_name = "192.168.114.11"
api_fqdn server_name
nginx['url'] = "https://#{server_name}"
nginx['server_name'] = server_name
lb['fqdn'] = server_name
bookshelf['vip'] = server_name

Be gentle, I'm new to chef, trying to get my environment set up and have some new recipes to upload to my new chef server. I'm able to do some commands, and I was able to
knife bootstrap
the new node, so I'm pretty sure my configuration is correct.It appears that it's trying to upload to localhost when I turn on verbose logging. I have a server set in my
knife.rb
, and I also tried specifying a server in the knife command with-s
, to no avail.$ knife cookbook upload -a Uploading base [0.1.0] Uploading dovecot [0.1.0] Uploading postfix [0.1.0] /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:762:in `initialize': Connection refused - connect(2) (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)
With specified server:
$ knife cookbook upload -a -s https://mychefserver Uploading base [0.1.0] Uploading dovecot [0.1.0] Uploading postfix [0.1.0] /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:762:in `initialize': Connection refused - connect(2) (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)
And with -V:

Eve Freeman about 11 yearsThanks, this is clearly better than reinstalling. I tried to figure it out but I think the step I was missing was the
reconfigure
command. -
Gaurav Patel almost 11 yearsThat worked like a charm!
