Hi all,

I encounter a problem with my chef instance whenever I want to download
a cookbook with knife. Uploading works fine. The output is as follows:

The Chef server log can be seen here:

CouchDb is running and the logs show nothing suspicious:

The same error happens when I try to run chef-client on a client while
trying to download a cookbook. Again, uploading cookbooks works fine. Al
this happens on the node that also hosts the chef server.

Any ideas what’s going wrong? Where should I look for errors?
Thanks in advance.

I’d try upgrading your Ruby to 1.9.3 (you’re on 1.9.1). Examples of this error I was able to find with Google (including this Chef bug: http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-2363) were generally traced to bugs in Ruby and/or OpenSSL.

The ruby path has 1.9.1, but I run ruby 1.9.3 on this machine already:
node31:~ # ruby --version
ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-linux]
This is a SLE11 SP2 machine.

The bug you linked is fixed on my version of chef (10.12.0), I just
tested it. But it could still be a ruby or SSL error of course.
