I have a number of chef nodes that are working fine but this one fails right
away. When running the chef-client it gets its runlist and expands it and
then fails with this error:
[Tue, 03 May 2011 11:06:43 -0500] INFO: HTTP Request Returned 404 Not Found:

Note that knife commands from this node work fine.
Has anyone seen this error and know what it means?

Environments are new in Chef 0.10.0. The /environments/\_default/
cookbook\_versions lookup is trying to find some data from the default
environment.
Has the chef server you're running against been upgraded?
Cheers,

I have the exact same issue with all new instances I launch in EC2. As
part of the bootstrap process I run 'gem install chef' and that brings
down Chef 0.10 now. I run a Chef 0.9.4 server. I would have thought
there will be some mechanisms in place to allow 0.10 clients to talk
to a pre-0.10 server....but I guess I need to look into upgrading my
server now.

Wasn't there a new bootstrap option in the new knife to lock the
client at a given version?

You can add this to your knife.rb:
bootstrap\_version "0.9.16"
Or include the --bootstrap-version VERSION option when you call bootstrap.

Hi all,
The `--bootstrap-version` option to knife and the associated Chef::Config
parameter are only available in knife 0.9.16 and later. Also, by default,
knife 0.9.16 and later will bootstrap your node with the current version of
knife that you are using.
If you upgrade your workstation to 0.9.16 you should see the behavior you
were expecting. If you are using knife 0.10.0, then you will need to provide
the --bootstrap-version option.
Cheers!

Thanks everyone! I should have noticed it was saying it was running 0.10.0.
I've just removed that version and install 0.9.16 and everything is fine.
Thanks again,
Tristan

Is there a way to specify the chef version I want to install when
doing 'gem install chef'?
