Hi John Thank you for helping me. Today I have fixed several configuration issues of Master's start-up (such as SELinux warning, missing domain names, etc), however the problem with <*include apache*> persist.
To be on the safe side, I am running both Master and Agent from *sudo*. At the same time, I have added *puppet* user to *root* group (just to eliminate possibility of inaccessible paths): [me@ip-10-0-8-11 puppet-skeleton]$ groups puppet puppet : puppet root Please, find Master debug log below: [me@ip-10-0-8-10 ~]$ sudo puppet master --no-daemonize --debug <START_UP_MESSAGES - NO_WARNINGS> Notice: Starting Puppet master version 3.2.3 Info: Inserting default '~ ^/catalog/([^/]+)$' (auth true) ACL Info: Inserting default '~ ^/node/([^/]+)$' (auth true) ACL Info: Inserting default '/file' (auth ) ACL Info: Inserting default '/certificate_revocation_list/ca' (auth true) ACL Info: Inserting default '~ ^/report/([^/]+)$' (auth true) ACL Info: Inserting default '/certificate/ca' (auth any) ACL Info: Inserting default '/certificate/' (auth any) ACL Info: Inserting default '/certificate_request' (auth any) ACL Info: Inserting default '/status' (auth true) ACL Info: Caching node for ip-10-0-8-11.sampup.com Debug: No plugins found in subpath '/etc/puppet/modules/ntp/lib' (file / directory does not exist) Debug: No plugins found in subpath '/biz/puppet/modules/role/lib' (file / directory does not exist) Debug: No plugins found in subpath '/biz/puppet/modules/profile/lib' (file / directory does not exist) Debug: No plugins found in subpath '/biz/puppet/modules/README/lib' (file / directory does not exist) Debug: No plugins found in subpath '/biz/puppet/modules/networking/lib' (file / directory does not exist) Debug: No plugins found in subpath '/biz/puppet/modules/users/lib' (file / directory does not exist) Info: Caching node for ip-10-0-8-11.sampup.com Debug: importing '/biz/puppet/modules/role/manifests/init.pp' in environment devbranch Debug: importing '/biz/puppet/modules/role/manifests/knox_portal.pp' in environment devbranch Debug: Automatically imported role::knox_portal from role/knox_portal into devbranch Debug: importing '/biz/puppet/modules/profile/manifests/init.pp' in environment devbranch Debug: importing '/biz/puppet/modules/profile/manifests/base.pp' in environment devbranch Debug: Automatically imported profile::base from profile/base into devbranch Debug: importing '/biz/puppet/modules/networking/manifests/init.pp' in environment devbranch Debug: Automatically imported networking from networking into devbranch Debug: importing '/biz/puppet/modules/users/manifests/init.pp' in environment devbranch Debug: Automatically imported users from users into devbranch Debug: importing '/biz/puppet/modules/profile/manifests/web_server.pp' in environment devbranch Debug: Automatically imported profile::web_server from profile/web_server into devbranch Debug: importing '/etc/puppet/modules/apache/manifests/init.pp' in environment devbranch Debug: Automatically imported apache from apache into devbranch Debug: importing '/etc/puppet/modules/apache/manifests/params.pp' in environment devbranch Debug: Automatically imported apache::params from apache/params into devbranch Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: syntax error on line 13, col 10: `' at /biz/puppet/modules/profile/manifests/web_server.pp:3 on node ip-10-0-8-11.sampup.com Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: syntax error on line 13, col 10: `' at /biz/puppet/modules/profile/manifests/web_server.pp:3 on node ip-10-0-8-11.sampup.com Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: syntax error on line 13, col 10: `' at /biz/puppet/modules/profile/manifests/web_server.pp:3 on node ip-10-0-8-11.sampup.com Debug: Finishing transaction 69970875958340 Debug: Received report to process from ip-10-0-8-11.sampup.com Debug: Processing report from ip-10-0-8-11.sampup.com with processor Puppet::Reports::Store Agent node log: [me@ip-10-0-8-11 puppet-skeleton]$ sudo puppet agent --test Info: Caching certificate for ip-10-0-8-11.sampup.com Info: Caching certificate_revocation_list for ca Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Loading facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/root_home.rb Info: Loading facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/concat_basedir.rb Info: Loading facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/pe_version.rb Info: Loading facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/facter_dot_d.rb Info: Loading facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/puppet_vardir.rb Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: syntax error on line 13, col 10: `' at /biz/puppet/modules/profile/manifests/web_server.pp:3 on node ip-10-0-8-11.sampup.com Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run And the file in question: [me@ip-10-0-8-10 puppet-skeleton]$ cat /biz/puppet/modules/profile/manifests/web_server.pp class profile::web_server { # Configuration for all webservers class { "apache": } #class { "php": } #class { "memcache": } } What else can I do to understand the issue?
