I am not familiar with setting up and configuring chef server, workstation and nodes. But I was stuck in here. Greatly appreciate any help from experts.
I have an Ubuntu 14.04.2 machine with chef-server 12.0.8-1 installed. Everything is working fine as expected.
And now I was setting up the workstation in my windows VM machine. I installed chef-client 12.2.1-1, chefdk-0.4.0-1. I downloaded the chef-starter kit from my chef server machine (https://ip_address/organizations/some_org). I issue 'knife ssl fetch' command so that the self-signed certificate will be download. When I check the connectivity between my workstation and chef server. I got the following error.
ERROR: Network Error: getaddrinfo: No such host is known. Check your knife configuration and network settings.
I checked the knife.rb and the the value of chef_server_url is https://hostname/organizations/some_org. I tried changing the hostname into the ip adress and I was able to execute the 'knife ssl fetch command'. But when execute the 'knife ssl check' I got the following error.
Connecting to host ipaddress ERROR: The SSL cert is signed by a trusted authority but is not valid for the given hostname ERROR: You are attempting to connect to: 'ipaddress' ERROR: The server's certificate belongs to 'hostname'
Anything I missed here and anything I need to do?
Thank you.
