I am trying to set up a Chef node using Vagrant, but running in to an error with the bootstrap command. I am following the tutorial on learn.chef.io
My Chef server is setup on EC2, and works great. I can successfully upload cookbooks from my workstation to the server itself.
However, when running the following bootstrap command from my workstation to setup a node:
knife bootstrap localhost --ssh-port 2222 --ssh-user vagrant --sudo --identity-file /Users/Shivam/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key --node-name node1-ubuntu --run-list 'recipe[learn_chef_apache2]'
I get the following error.
Creating new client for node1-ubuntu

This is what my knife.rb looks like on my workstation.
current_dir = File.dirname(__FILE__)
log_level :info
log_location STDOUT
node_name "chefadmin"
client_key "#{current_dir}/chefadmin.pem"
chef_server_url "https://ec2-11-90-25-181.compute-1.amazonaws.com/organizations/4thcoffee"
cookbook_path ["#{current_dir}/../cookbooks"]
I have followed the advice here Chef bootstrap giving 401 unauthorized with no luck.
Probably missing something straightforward. Thanks in advance!
