Chef::Exceptions::ChecksumMismatch when installing nginx-1.7.8 from source
The nginx cookbook requires you to edit the checksum attribute when using another version of nginx. The remote_file resource that is causing you an error is:
remote_file nginx_url do source nginx_url checksum node['nginx']['source']['checksum'] path src_filepath backup falseendYou need to update the checksum value. Specifically node['nginx']['source']['checksum'].
So in your JSON, you would add this line:
"source": {"checksum": "insert checksum here" }Edit: As pointed out in the comments, the checksum is SHA256. You can generate the checksum of the file like so:
shasum -a 256 nginx-1.7.8.tar.gz
