It looks like it is failing b/c you are running a version older than 2.6.x (probably 0.25.5)
for 0.25.5, the executable is a little different, try running: $ puppet my_test_manifest.pp there are significant syntax changes between 0.25.5 and 2.6.x, I would not recommend starting with the older version. -Dan On Sun, Oct 2, 2011 at 12:26 PM, John Bower <olympus.sta...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hello, > > I have succesfully installed puppet on ubunu, one master and one > client. > > I am going through the documentation and I am having a hard time > getting this example to work > http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/manifests.html > > $ puppet apply my_test_manifest.pp > > I get this error > > root@puppet:/etc/puppet/manifests# pwd > /etc/puppet/manifests > root@puppet:/etc/puppet/manifests# puppet apply my_test_manifest.pp > Could not parse for environment production: Could not find file /etc/ > puppet/manifests/apply.pp > root@puppet:/etc/puppet/manifests# locate apply.pp > root@puppet:/etc/puppet/manifests# > > > I am supposed to generate apply.pp somehow or am I actually missing a > module or something else i dont know about? > > Thanks > > PS.: So far I am impressed with puppet's abilities and look forward to > implementing it :) > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
