Are you using chef at all in your clouds.rb?

ya, sure, my clouds.rb looks like this:

PP should bootstrap chef by manually installing it via gems. You do seem to be getting an error with gem not being found. What version of PP are you using. I noted a problem which auser fixed with regards to the path to the gem binary a couple of releases ago.

i use this one "poolparty-1.6.3"...do i have to run any other command before "cloud start".

Actually I'm using one a little older on my own branch and don't have any problems. Can you log into EC2 box with cloud-ssh and check if the chef gem was installed.

If you are using an Ubuntu 9.10 AMI then you have to set the user to ubuntu but i don't see you specifiying a base AMI to use.

gem list

hm strange, yes, i can log in by "cloud ssh" and get this gem list by "gem list":
"The program 'gem' can be found in the following packages:

• rubygems1.8
• rubygems1.9
  Try: apt-get install
  -bash: gem: command not found"

ok so PP has really screwed up because it hasn't managed to install the rubygems package manager. You could try do the following whilst logged into your machine.

sudo apt-get install rubygems

Then go back to your home machine and run

cloud-start

again.

ok, i tried out your advice:

root@domU-##-##-39-09-B5-A3:# sudo apt-get install rubygems

E: Couldn't find package rubygems

And after cloud-start same error:
