I am attempting to bootstrap my first node in Chef. I set-up my environment as the following
Server: Centos 6.5 running Private-chef-11.1.8 (casino.xxx.com)
Client: Centos 6.5 running chef-client 11.12.8 (zodiac.xxx.com)
Node: Centos 6.5 running chef-client 11.12.8 (hop.xxx.com)
I am running the following from my client, so it can be registered with the CHEF server
knife bootstrap hop.xxx.com -x root -p *******
I receive the following error:
ERROR: Network Error: Connection refused - connect(2)
I am however able to SSH to this client as normal:
[root@zodiac .chef]# ssh hop.xxx.com
The authenticity of host 'hop.xxx.com (192.168.1.145)' can't be established.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

Can you explain why knife is not able to connect? Is knife using port 22 to connect? (I have not changed any settings from the default) Does it require additional ports opening or is there a possible issue with my configuration?#
Edit Ive checked /var/log/secure on the node which I am trying to bootstrap and nothing is being logged when the command is being run
