Trouble with 0.8.8 after update from 0.8.6. there was also a reboot so not sure which actually caused the failure. I am running knife to get a node list and it generates errors, also I am able to pull a client list … spent a few hours trying to track id own and just am lost.

Any help is much appreciated.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you have a node that got  
created with a blank name. There is a ticket open about this:

[http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-1069](http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-1069)

Check the contents of your CouchDB database, and look for a node with  
no name. Delete it. 🙂

Just to confirm:

Do you have only merb 1.0.15 installed? After uninstalling merb 1.1.0,  
was chef-server fully restarted?

Are all the server related processes running? By default:

rabbitmq-server listens on port 5672.  
chef-solr listens on port 8983.  
chef-solr-indexer should have a connection established to port 5672.  
chef-server listens on port 4000.  
couchdb listens on port 5984.

If everything is running, then turn on debugging for the chef-server  
(log\_level :debug in /etc/chef/server.rb).

Capture the relevant log output from running

```
% knife node list

```

When the internal server error 500 happens.

Joshua,  
you probably want to access CouchDB's webui which is available from a  
URL like [http://localhost:5984/\_utils/](http://localhost:5984/_utils/)

On most installations, CouchDB configured to listen _only_ on the  
localhost/loopback interface, so you'll most likely want to set up an  
SSH tunnel from port 5984 on your box to localhost:5984. From there,  
you can navigate to the "chef" database and then select the nodes \>  
all\_id view. This URL will probably work for that:  
[http://localhost:5984/\_utils/database.html?chef/\_design/nodes/\_view/all\_id](http://localhost:5984/_utils/database.html?chef/_design/nodes/_view/all_id)

Then find the one with a null/blank id and delete it.

HTH,  
Dan DeLeo
