I started with two clean machines this time.

My master is running 12.04

Version: 2.7.11-1ubuntu2

Depends: ruby1.8, puppetmaster-common (= 2.7.11-1ubuntu2)

My client is 10.04

Version: 2.6.3-0ubuntu1~lucid1

Depends: puppet-common (=> 2.6.3-0ubuntu1~lucid1), ruby1.8

To setup Puppet tutorial: http://shapeshed.com/setting-up-puppet-on-ubuntu-10-04/

To connect master and client: http://shapeshed.com/connecting-clients-to-a-puppet-master/

The first time I tried to connect master to client failed with SSL_connect error. So I did rm -rf /etc/puppet/ssl/ to remove all the keys inside ssl folders.

It looked like it work.... BUT

client# puppet agent --server puppet --waitforce 60 --test /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/facter/util/resolution.rb:46: warning: Insecure world writable dir /etc/condor in PATH, mode 040777 /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/defaults.rb:67: warning: Insecure world writable dir /etc/condor in PATH, mode 040777 info: Creating a new SSL key for giab10 warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session info: Caching certificate for ca warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session info: Creating a new SSL certificate request for mybox123 info: Certificate Request fingerprint (md5): XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session info: Caching certificate for mybox123 err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed warning: Not using cache on failed catalog It cached but then it couldn't retrieve it. 

Let me stop here.... worrying I would mess something up. But let's check master's status.

 * master is not running 

WoW.... ???

master# service puppetmaster start * Starting puppet master [OK] master# service puppetmaster status * master is not running 
  1. I think time is sync. Well, we are behind a firewall so the port to sync time is disbaled. I checked with date and they seem okay.

  2. What about master not running? Is that the cause?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I always have this error, but I always ignored it. http://pastebin.com/exbpArjv What could it mean? Time sync? Package not installed? Then how could we do puppetca in the first place?

    on the Master host, check /var/log/puppet/puppetmaster.log and paste the an error here. Also- if the puppet client wasn't able to see the Puppet Master, then it would say so. Something else is happening here. Commented Jun 30, 2012 at 19:22
  • @qweet Thanks! /var/log/puppet is puppet:puppet for group and owner. I have to access as root in order to get in there. Also, I don't have that file. I have masterhttp.log masterhttp.log.1.gz Commented Jun 30, 2012 at 19:27
  • Post something from masterhttp.log. It should give us a clue as to why it's not working. Commented Jun 30, 2012 at 19:30
  • @qweet I just did. However, it's inside /var/lib/puppet,because /var/log/puppet has an empty log file. Thanks. Like I said, how come these address are being used? When I say clean I mean I've deleted puppetmaster and puppet. Commented Jun 30, 2012 at 19:33

    Ok something's going on. Try puppet master --debug --no-daemonize and see what the master says when it boots up. Commented Jun 30, 2012 at 19:49

Run puppet master --debug --no-daemonize and if you come to see

Error: Could not run: Address already in use - bind(2) 

It probably means that the puppet master is already running. Try checking the output of

netstat -anpl | grep 8140 

if you see a line referencing port 8140 with LISTEN, then that is probably your issue. (The puppet master process listens on port 8140 for incoming connections from clients by default.)

If you've followed the default setup for Ubuntu, apache will have started, listening on port 8140.

sudo service apache2 stop 

then carry on with the config.
