I want to configure chef-server over Centos 7, I installed the chef-server-core, then I added this line to /etc/hosts

192.168.0.4   chef.example.com

Then I put this command:

chef-server-ctl reconfigure

Everything is ok, except when I tried to create a user with this command:

chef-server-ctl user-create admin admin admin admin@chef secret -f admin.pem

I got this message:

ERROR: Error connecting to https://127.0.0.1/users/, retry 1/5

I made a lot of google and all solutions suggest to change the hostname in /etc/hosts, but not working in my machine.

Any Help!

I have the exact same problem. And what you need to do is rebooted your system and try again. At least rebooting the system works for me.

Here is the explanation:

Container needs to be rebooted after package is installed for things to work. Without rebooting, the error message the author mentioned would be received while trying to create a new user using chef-server-ctl
