I'm getting this problem on all the puppet client's I've been setting up and it's got me both scratching my head (because I'm not seeing anything obvious in any system logs) and pausing in my rollout until I get it solved:
# puppet resource service puppet ensure=running enable=true Error: Could not start Service[puppet]: Execution of '/sbin/service puppet start' returned 1: Error: /Service[puppet]/ensure: change from stopped to running failed: Could not start Service[puppet]: Execution of '/sbin/service puppet start' returned 1: service { 'puppet': ensure => 'stopped', enable => 'false', } # ps aux | grep 'puppet agent' | grep -v grep # puppet agent # ps aux | grep 'puppet agent' | grep -v grep root 55055 12.4 0.1 383924 45928 ? Ssl 07:15 0:01 /usr/bin/ruby /bin/puppet agent # Where should I look first? I'm not sure why this will start for me interactively but not from the agent (this also fails if the agent is already running in exactly the same fashion). Thanks!
