knife upload fails on dependency checks but dependencies are there - upload

Question

I am trying to upload the wordpress cookbook from the Chef Store to my server, but it keeps failing on two dependencies, saying they are not on the server, but they are already there.

The cookbooks -are- there, but they don't generate a match. ????
Anybody know what's going on and/or how to fix this?

Answer 1

ERROR: The missing cookbook(s) are: 'mysql2_chef_gem' version '~> 1.0.1', 'php-fpm' version '~> 0.6.10'
mysql2_chef_gem 1.1.0
php-fpm 0.7.6
Here your constraints are pessimistic greater than match, with version X.Y.Z, it means Z should be greater or equal, but X and Y should be the same.
It sounds like you don't have a mysql2_chef_gem cookbook in version 1.0.x nor a php-fpm in version 0.6.x uploaded to your chef-server.
you can check with knife cookbook show <cookbook_name> or knife cookbook list -a to see all versions.
