Hello Lamont, Adam.

I'm finishing some tests and the PG error is documented here
(https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-4390).

I have a new clue, so please if you can tell me what should be the
differences between these two types of connections.

If i connect the chef node (Windows) using pptpd and the server, it works fine.
If i connect the chef node (Windows) and the server using the
standard network, it fails.

Cheers!

The postgresql logs look interesting. The failed unique constraints might
be the problem. I would expect to see stack traces in the erchef logs
though.

Hello,

Adam, Lamont good morning.

Ill give it a try to CHEF-5270 because this error is recent (I don't
loose any trying as i'm stuck right now) about 2 weeks ago it suddenly
stop working. Also I'm attaching the chef-client logs in debug mode
and the chef-server logs. But again i don't see any error in the
application layer.

Thanks for your help,

Cheers!

Hello Julian and Lamont,

I just check all logs in the server and there is not any apparent
error... It so confusing and frustrating this issue..

Well, the server is actually tearing down the connection normally with a
FIN|ACK, but then the client is still sending data, which produces a RST
from the server, then the client receives those and sends back FIN|ACK
and
RST of its own. So TCP is behaving normally and it does look like this
isn't a rackspace issue. The question is why the server seems to tear
down
the connection early while the client is still attempting to send data.

There should be something either in the nginx or erchef logs on the
server
on in the -l debug logs or the stacktrace on the client.
