I’m running Chef Server 12.2.0 in an Amazon VPC and I’m having trouble uploading cookbooks via berks or knife.
Berks gives me the generic error and stack track:
➜ my-cookbook berks upload
E, [2015-12-14T10:24:53.020742 #10071] ERROR -- : Ridley::Errors::HTTPInternalServerError: {"error":["internal service error"]}
E, [2015-12-14T10:24:53.021373 #10071] ERROR -- : /opt/chefdk/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/ridley-4.3.1/lib/ridley/middleware/chef_response.rb:24:in `on_complete'
[stack trace removed for brevity]
There was an error connecting to the Chef Server
And knife gives me an internal service error:
➜ knife upload .

I tried following the steps provided in this post, but my ELB and SG for the Chef server already have the same ports mentioned open/listening. Let me know what other logs I should tail to give more context to this problem.
