HTTP Request Returned 401 Unauthorized: Failed to authenticate?

Hi, I have following problem installing new node (I am installing it
in same way like rest of nodes), and I am pretty lost at this moment.

Where I should start debugging? (I replace my FQDN with example.com in
following example)

Typical issue is out of time sync between chef server and node.

So always check that ntp daemon installed and ran.

Nowadays, Chef gives a clear message if client and server are out of
sync. Rafal's case is not like that. Check that in the server, the
name specified there for the node is exactly the same as specified in
/etc/chef/client.rb (or wherever your config is). If these are OK, I
suggest you regenerate the client key on the server and put the new
private key on the node and retry.

Hi guys, thanks for reply.

Yesterday I posted link my problem on IRC and Joshua helped me immedietaly -
the problem was that I already bootstraped this box as node, but with bad
FQDN.

Later, I removed the node from the platform - and bootstraped again.

After removing /etc/chef/client.pem (which came with previously bootstrap)
everything started to work.

The FQDN has hit me multiple times. As such, I always specify my node
name explicitly, independent from the FQDN. As such, I can also let
Chef configure the hostname from my cookbooks.

Hi Ringo,

Can you write me more "explicity providing name" - independent from FQDN?

Cheers,

Rafał

Rafal,

2011/6/9 Rafal Bluszcz Zawadzki rafal@headnet.dk:

Hi Ringo,

If you use "knife bootstrap", you can use the --node-name argument to
specify a name yourself. This will override the default value of the
FQDN.

Hope this helps.

Ringo
