Chef Server Installation error - amazon-web-services

I am a newbie to chef. I am trying to install chef server on an ec2 centos instance.
I am following this link to install the chef server.
But I am getting error at step 8 of installation.

Check your knife configuration and network settings
Is this the right tutorial. Please help me resolving the issue.

You seem to be doing the right thing for chef, but it looks like a fundamental networking issue. If I understand properly, you are logged into the chef server and trying to set up knife on the same box to talk contact itself. Is Chef server actually running? Use 'netstat -an' and verify that something is waiting on the :443 port. Can you use a browser from another host to contact it? You could also consider installing "knife" on another machine and running the same thing.

Are you providing a valid chef-server url. At first look it looks like you are giving the workstation ip address.

Connecting to Tensorboard Logs on a Remote Server: The Connection was Reset

When trying to connect to tensorboard logs on a remote server and entering the address http://localhost:16006/ in chrome and firefox I get this message in the command line "channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused" multiple times and this message on the browser, "The Connection was Reset".
I ssh into the server like this: ssh -L 16006:127.0.0.1:6006 username#machine and then go one level up the log folder and write: tensorboard --logdir logs --port 16006
I tired:
tensorboard --logdir logs --port 16006 --bind-all
and also
tensorboard --logdir logs --host localhost, also
tensorboard --logdir logs --host 127.0.0.1
None of the above has wroked. I tried running the line above from another environment which didn't help. I went to the office and tried connecting to the logs from the server machine directly and it worked.
It used to work before when accessing remotely. Do you know what the problem is? any hint would be immensely appreciated.
I am having the same problem, but I think you should designate --port 6006 since it looks like you are forwarding remote port 6006 to the local port 16006.
Even so, since 6006 is the default port, the other commands should have worked, but you would have to go to http://127.0.0.1:16006 on your local machine, rather than the link it provides.
Some more in depth explanations can be found here how to run tensorboard on a remote server and how to see tensorboard over ssh
Even following this advice though I am still getting a 'channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection failed' error

Connecting to Could SQL from local machine via proxy

I am following these instructions to deploy a Django app on Google App Engine:
https://cloud.google.com/python/django/appengine
I have got as far as downloading the proxy .exe file (I am on a Windows machine) and connecting to it:
2019/01/08 16:14:08 Listening on 127.0.0.1:3306 for
[INSTANCE-NAME] 2019/01/08 16:14:08
Ready for new connections
When I try and create the Django migrations by running python manage.py createmigrations I see the connection received by the proxy file:
2019/01/08 16:15:06 New connection for
"[INSTANCE-NAME]"
However, after a couple of seconds pause I get this error:
2019/01/08 16:15:28 couldn't connect to
"[INSTANCE-NAME]": dial tcp
35.205.185.133:3307: connectex: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
I have tried disabling my local firewall in case this was causing any issues, but the result is the same. I've also checked the username, password and Cloud SQL instance name, they are all correct.
What could be causing this error?

What am i missing? I could not resolve this error. Can someone help me fix this issue?
This error occurs when you run an instance of PopSQL or Node.js and the MySQL server is not running on your local machine.
Try the below steps
Press Windows key and R on your keyboard. This opens the command prompt
Type in services.msc and click ok.
In the services pop up , check for MYSQL57. If its not in the running state, Click on run this service in the left column of the dialog box
Once the service is running connect to the POPSQL from the connections window
The error message you shared indicates your machine could not connect to the instance's IP address on port 3307 (which is used by the proxy). I tested this on my own machine, and it is listening there. This likely indicates a firewall on your machine or your local network that is preventing outbound connections on port 3307. Try and open this in the firewall, and see if you can connect.
You need to whitelist your IP to access Cloud SQL. https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/instance-access-control

Cassandra cpp-driver throwing error but able to connect with the cluster

I'm trying to connect the cassandra cpp-driver with 2 node cassandra cluster. It is throwing some error, but able to retrieve the keyspace names.
1430309809.995 [ERROR] (src/connection.cpp:413:static void cass::Connection::on_connect(cass::Connector*)): Connect error
'connection refused' on host 192.168.1.5
1430309809.995 [ERROR] (src/connection.cpp:651:void cass::Connection::notify_error(const string&)): Host 192.168.1.5 had
the following error on startup: 'Unable to connect'
keyspace_name: 'mytest'
keyspace_name: 'system_traces'
keyspace_name: 'system'
It looks like your host 192.168.1.5 is not configured to accept the external connections but your driver is able to connect to the second node in the cluster.
I found the solution for it. My bad, i had set the broadcast_rpc_address to the client ip, that's the reason i got such an error. Now i changed the broadcast_rpc_address to the ip of the same machine. It works fine now.

Cloudfoundry's cf login yields a "connection refused" error message

I am experiencing issues with the latest bosh-lite virtual box machine. See here.
I have just downloaded the Vagrantfile and done a
vagrant up
Then a:

But it give me a:

Can anyone please help?
Get address of haproxy by logging to it (bosh ssh, then ifconfig). Use address of haproxy as api endpoint.
