I've confirmed that I have permissions on the local box. Here is my default.rb in my Chef cookbook:
ruby_block "Copy Oracle Files" do
block do
require 'fileutils'
FileUtils.cp_r("#{node["server_files"]}","c:\\chef-tmp")
end
action :create
end
Here is the server_files dir: default["server_files"] = "\\\\winmomfs1\\3rdParty\\Oracle Client\\Oracle_11g\\win64_11gR2_client.zip"
And upon running chef-client on the node, I get:
[2013-12-20T12:51:45-05:00] INFO: Running queued delayed notifications before re-raising exception

Any ideas why?

I am writing a simple recipe to create file like:
file '/myfile' do
content 'Welcome to Technical Guftgu'
action :create
end
but on chef-client -zr "recipe[test::recipe1]"
i am getting the following error:

It seems that your app does not have access to the file /myfile.
Try this, to allow access to all: sudo chmod a+rw /myfile
Errno::EACCES Means "Permission Denied"
The Errno class is mapped to your system call errors at runtime. You can find this (confusingly) documented in:
SystemCallError#errno
Errno
In particular:
Errno.constants.include? :EACCES
#=> true
on most *nix sytems Errno::EACCES maps to the libc error code for "permission denied". Specifically:
Macro: int EACCES
"Permission denied." The file permissions do not allow the attempted operation.
That generally means your #create action doesn't have permissions to read, write, or traverse the path to the file you are trying to manage, so you need to change your implementation (which you don't show in your original post) to ensure that your Ruby process has the needed file or filesystem permissions to perform the requested operations.

I've created a simple recipe to copy files from one directory to another on windows.
Recipe:
remote_directory 'C:\chef-repo\chef-repo\cookbooks\chef-repo\recipes\destination' do
source 'C:\chef-repo\chef-repo\cookbooks\chef-repo\recipes\source'
action :create
end
However, I'm getting the following error when trying to execute the recipe in --local-mode for the sake of testing the recipe before deploying it on Chef server:

If you're loading #recipe_files from another cookbook, make sure you configure the dependency in your metadata
I've tried searching the internet for a solution regarding this issue, but I couldn't find anything useful.
The remote_directory resource takes files from the cookbook's files/ folder.
What you do looks pretty weird to me - you're copying recipes, and you're hardcoding local paths to the cookbook. Better ask a new question including your actual goal. I'm pretty confident that remote_directory is not what you want.

include_recipe "lgjava"
include_recipe "lgtomcat"

P.S: the web.war file is deployed under tomcat7/webapps and its extracted too. I manually checked it, the file exists in the specific location. Why is that it's not able to locate using 'templates'?
Take it as stream:
Chef deploys the war then renders the template and try to compare with existing file.
The problem is that when chef tries to get the target file info, Tomcat probably has not yet unpacked the war file at all.
We do this kind of deployment with an ark resource out of tomcat, render the templates and then copy or link (depending on the cases) the temp deploy dir to the webapps tomcat dir.
The below code solved my problem:
ruby_block 'wait for tomcat' do
block do
true until ::File.exists?("#{node['webapp']['webinf_dir']}")
end
end
I am running a recipe which I have used a bazillion times before, and im getting these errors when I spin up a new EC2 instance with chef + knife.

I have no idea what is going on, what moneta is, or why it cannot build from that template. The template is in templates/default/authorized_keys.erb as expected.
It's the "moneta" gem, which was recently upgraded. Luckily, there is a simple fix (roll it back!), unless you are using new functionality inside that gem. Perform the following:
gem install moneta --version=0.6.0
gem uninstall moneta
... and then uninstall all versions of moneta >= 0.7.0
