puppet takes either the catalog for the node or the one for the default node. And this error tells me that no catalog could be found for the node 01.web.test nor the default. So you have to define at least one of these. Every nodes get an error with '01.web.test'? could you check the fqdn of facter etc. on the host? Regarding the error message and if it really was a problem of a not yet declared node, I agree that this message could be improved. Would you have thought about this possibility if the error message was like: "Could not find a catalog for node '01.web.test'; cannot compile" or what would be a an appropriate message? Please file a ticket, if you find a better one, so it can be imroved. > What are the tools / commands that people use to debug and figure out what > to my eyes are cryptic error messages? logs of the puppetmaster might give you as well some hints. maybe run it as well with --debug. cheers pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
