Hi,

```
 I am using open source chef server,in which pem files are not 

```

created in /etc/chef-server only two files are there  
1)chef-server-running.json2)chef-server-secrets.json

```
 I ve extract a pkg using
        1)dpkg -i pkg name then
         2)use sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure

```

but its not creating pem files why?

Thanks,  
Indra
