Hi, All

I am a newbie on chef, I got blocked on cookbook, please help me with this, thanks in advance.

I create a new cookbook and modify default.rb, add followings  
package “vsftpd” do  
action :install  
end  
Then I upload it to chef server  
knife cookbook upload cookbook01  
But, I find all changes are lost on chef-server  
knife cookbook show cookbook01 0.1.0 recipes default.rb  
#  
# Cookbook Name:: cookbook01  
# Recipe:: default  
#  
# Copyright 2017, YOUR\_COMPANY\_NAME  
#  
# All rights reserved - Do Not Redistribute  
#

Am I missing something?

My ENV:  
chef-server-core-12.15.6-1  
chef-manage-2.5.3-1  
chefdk-1.3.43-1  
chef-13.0.118-1

```
Chef server and Chef workstation are on the same machine.

```

Thanks.
