When I tried installing chef server and run chef-server-ctl reconfigure, I keep getting the following error,

BOOT007: The secrets file (/etc/opscode/private-chef-secrets.json) is present
but the file /etc/opscode/pivotal.pem is missing.

     Ensure that private-chef-secrets.json is copied into /etc/opscode from the
     first Chef Server node that you brought online, then run
     'chef-server-ctl reconfigure' again.

What way I can solve this error, Please help.

Try removing the rpm and remove the full directories under /etc/ /opt/ / releated to chef server.
remove the userids created while installing chef server like opscode etc and their home directories too.
After removing these, try to install chef rpm and configure it… You may not get that error again

I have faced the same issue and the following commands solved the problem

sudo mkdir /usr/lib/systemd/system
cp /opt/opscode/embedded/service/omnibus-ctl/spec/fixtures/pivotal.pem /etc/opscode/

Please try these
