Hey there. Chef newbie here. I’ve installed chef-server and I have
gotten many things working, but I’m unable to do a search from the
client-side using knife as mentioned in the docs.
[root@chefserver-test1 ~]# chef-solo --version
Chef: 0.9.12
Steve-Webbs-MacBook-Pro:~ swebb$ knife --version
Chef: 0.10.0
Steve-Webbs-MacBook-Pro:~ swebb$ knife node list
cacti-server.gnip.com
chefserver-test1
Steve-Webbs-MacBook-Pro:~ swebb$ knife search node ":"
ERROR: Server returned error for
http://chefserver-test1.gnip.com:4000/search/node?q=%253A&sort=&start=0&rows=20,
retrying 1/5 in 3s
ERROR: Server returned error for
http://chefserver-test1.gnip.com:4000/search/node?q=%253A&sort=&start=0&rows=20,
retrying 2/5 in 8s
I can do searches from the chef-gui and it seems to work. I can re-index
and that seems to work:
Steve-Webbs-MacBook-Pro:~ swebb$ knife index rebuild -y
Chef::ApiClient: success
Chef::DataBag: success
Chef::Node: success
Chef::Role: success
solr is running:
[root@chefserver-test1 ~]# ps auxw | grep solr

-Dsolr.solr.home=/var/chef/solr -jar /var/chef/solr-jetty/start.jar
However, I’m not using a solr.conf file, so it’s using the defaults for
solr.
Any ideas what’s wrong with my ‘knife search …’ command?
Thanks in advance.

Chef-solo is a separate tool which allows you to run chef cookbooks
locally on a system without a server. Notable to this conversation, it
doesn't support search. You'll probably want to look over the
architecture document on the wiki:

Steve-Webbs-MacBook-Pro:~ swebb$ knife --version
Chef: 0.10.0
It would be interesting what version of the server you are running,
presumably 0.9.12. I would wonder if the 0.10.0 knife is backwards
compatible with that old of a Chef release. I would upgrade the server
to 0.9.16 at least.

I can confirm that syntax works on a knife 0.9.16 versus chef 0.9.16.
Have you checked the solr logs yet?

Yea, I know, sorry. The chef-server is the same version:

I don't see any logs in /var/chef/solr/ or in /var/log/
In /var/chef/solr-jetty/logs I see some logs:

Have you tried that query on the server against the server, so that
way you're using the same version of knife as the server?
Bryan

Yea, it works on the server:
[swebb@chefserver-test1 log]$ knife search node ":" | head
{
"total": 2,
"start": 0,
"rows": [
{
"name": "cacti-server.gnip.com",
"json_class": "Chef::Node",
"automatic": {
"keys": {
"ssh": {
[swebb@chefserver-test1 log]$
Q: Does this mean that the 'search' syntax changed between 0.9.12 and
0.10.0?

I don't know the specifics, but I would expect this. There were a
number of breaking changes that got saved for the 0.10 release. Solr
was upgraded and received a new schema, as well as the
chef-solr-indexer was replaced with chef-expander.

As mentioned in those articles, you need to be running 0.10 on the server before you can use 0.10 clients/knife. Some commands may work, but others will not.
However, you can run 0.9.x clients against a 0.10 server, so you do not need to upgrade your clients in lockstep.
