Chef Knife Commands 404 Not Found

Question

I'm trying to use chef, I followed all the steps provided by them to "Install and configure Chef server using your hardware"

I've run the following commands from the workstation

knife SSL check

Output

Connecting to host my_server:443
Successfully verified certificates from `my_server'

However when I use the following command

knife client list 

Output:

ERROR: The object you are looking for could not be found

What is going on?

Answer 1

I found what is the root cause of my error, the chef_server_url must has the organization's name at the end of the URL.

chef_server_url 'https://my_server:443/organizations/my_organization_name'

I added the org name and it solved my issue(404 not found)

Answer 2

You haven't shared your knife.rb file in order to be more specific (in knife.rb you have to indicate your client_key,validation_client_name, validation_key etc), in general you don't have any registered chef-clients neither bootstrapped machines nor even local one. Here is the document about how to create your client. Here you might have an answer as well.
