Introduction + Question re: Error dropping nodes

Greetings.

I am new to this list. My name is Chris.

I was hoping to see if anyone might be familiar with an error I am getting
when trying to drop nodes. If anyone has seen this before or has suggestions
on how to fix, I would greatly appreciate it.

Error below.

Thx,

The following occurs when trying to drop any node. Registration deletions
work, but deleting a node fails. It is not a syntax issue with the use of
spaces in the names either. Everything worked fine at some point. My hunch
suggests it’s a gem issue or a json issue.

Chef Version: 0.7.16-1

EOFError 500
end of file reached

…/chef-server-slice/app/controllers/nodes.rb in `destroy’ 136

131 begin
132 @node = Chef::Node.load(params[:id])
133 rescue Net::HTTPServerException => e
134 raise NotFound, "Cannot load node #{params[:id]}"
135 end
136 @node.destroy
137 if request.accept == 'application/json’
138 display @node
139 else
140 redirect(absolute_slice_url(:nodes), {:message => { :notice => “Node
#{params[:id]} deleted successfully” }, :permanent => true})
141 end

Are you just starting with Chef? If so, I'd recommend moving on to 0.10 before you get too much invested in 0.7. I'm guessing you installed from apt? If so, take a look here: Chef 0.10 Debian/Ubuntu Packages - Chef Blog | Chef

Currently we aren't planning to upstream Chef into distros anymore since we are releasing too fast for that to work well with the upstreams' update policies.

Can you provide more server logs for this error?

Daniel,

Thanks for your response. We have been using version 0.7.16-1 successfully
for well over a year now, supporting dozens of servers. I am worried that an
upgrade will interfere significantly with our environment.

I would really like to figure out a way to fix this error so we can delete
nodes.

Thanks,
Chris Burnett
