Hi,

I'm testing an upgrade to Chef Server 11, but my `knife upload /` always  
fails at different places.

> Created /cookbooks/locales-0.0.2  
> Created /cookbooks/nginx-0.99.0  
> ERROR: internal server error  
> Response: internal service error

or

I see this in the erchef/current log:

Hi,

> > ERROR: internal server error

okay.. found an existing bug report:  
[http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-4339](http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-4339)

Unfortunately this is blocking me from upgrading ☹

Yours  
Steffen
