Hi again folks,
I posted about this a week ago and I haven’t heard anything, so maybe
I didn’t provide enough information.
I’m trying to migrate from one Chef server to another. I stopped all
the Chef services on the new box, copied the chef.couch over, and
restarted everything. But if I try to run chef-client against the new
Chef server, I get the above error. I’ve pasted the full stack trace
here:
https://gist.github.com/2822102
Does anyone have any ideas on what to do?
Have you copied all the couchdb data, along with all the stuff in /var/chef?

As Adam indicates, there is important data stored in your
checksum_patch that is required to go along with your CouchDB
database. Read the wiki page for backing up CouchDB carefully for a
little more information on this:

Yes, I copied the entire couchdb directory & stuff in /var/chef as well.

Thanks guys -- mea culpa for not reading the directions closely.
Tarring up the entire /var/lib/chef directory and restoring it worked.
