Hi all,
I'm a Puppet newbie and am struggling to get myself up and running on my
first Puppet install and am looking for some assistance.
To explain where I'm at I have done the following (all based on the Puppet
getting started guide):
1: sudo apt-get install puppet, installation completed but I noted the
following warning (is this important?):
*adduser*: *Warning: The home directory* `/*var/lib/*
*puppet*' *does not belong to the user you are currently creating*
2: Created /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp which contains the following (taken
from the Puppet getting started guide):
# site.pp
#Configure permissions on the sudoers file
file { "/etc/sudoers":
ownner => root, group => root, mode => 440
}
Permissions on site.pp are as follows:
ls -al /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 124 2010-11-13 10:14 /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
3: For my initial testing I wanted to use a single machine for both the
puppet server and client so have added the following to /etc/hosts :
#Puppet entries
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost puppet
4: Tried to start the puppet server using sudo /etc/init.d/puppet start ,
this yielded the following error:
puppet not configured to start, please edit /etc/default/puppet to enable
5: Configure /etc/default/puppet as follows (changes in red):
# Defaults for puppet - sourced by /etc/init.d/puppet
# Start puppet on boot?
START=yes
# Startup options
DAEMON_OPTS=""
6: Tried to start the puppet server using sudo /etc/init.d/puppet
startagain, this time it started without console error however I note
the
following in /var/log/syslog
Nov 13 12:40:11 mibi puppet-agent[14053]: Reopening log files
Nov 13 12:40:11 mibi puppet-agent[14053]: Could not request certificate:
Connection refused - connect(2)
ps -ef | grep puppet shows the following:
root 14053 1 0 12:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ruby1.8
/usr/bin/puppet agent
7: Attempting to start the Puppet client also yields the connection refused
error:
sudo puppetd --server localhost --waitforcert 60 --test
err: Could not request certificate: Connection refused - connect(2)
I initially thought that apparmor (firewall) might be blocking the
connection attempts but I have stopped apparmor (using both stop and
teardown options) and yet still the issue persists.
Also I note there is no log file in /var/log/puppet
Does anyone know what i might have done wrong? Most grateful for any insight
here.
Cheers,
Edd
