I am trying to build a puppet system for the first time, and I am having a problem creating my puppet.conf file. I am working on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for my puppet master, and Centos 7 for my agents.
Insofar as I can tell, there is no certificate on the puppet master. The reason why I think so is because I am getting Exiting; no certificate found and waitforcert is disabled errors on the agents, and in the log file on the puppetmaster, I see many entries of the form: [2014-12-12 15:08:22] 192.168.1.49 - - [12/Dec/2014:15:08:22 PST] "GET /production/certificate/jeffs-desktop.commercialventvac.com? HTTP/1.1" 404 73 [2014-12-12 15:08:22] - -> /production/certificate/jeffs-desktop.commercialventvac.com? I searched for jeffs-desktop* in /etc and /var, to no avail. I read Pro Puppet by Turnbull and McCune and on page 12, it says that I can create a configuration (which I hope includes a certificate) using the command puppetmasterd --genconfig > puppet.conf I find myself in a catch-22 situation. root@jeffs-desktop:/etc/puppet# *puppetmaster --genconfig > /etc/puppet/puppet.conf* No command 'puppetmaster' found, did you mean: Command 'puppetmasterd' from package 'puppetmaster' (main) puppetmaster: command not found root@jeffs-desktop:/etc/puppet# *puppetmasterd --genconfig > /etc/puppet/puppet.conf* The program 'puppetmasterd' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: apt-get install puppetmaster root@jeffs-desktop:/etc/puppet# oot@jeffs-desktop:/etc/puppet# *apt-get install puppetmaster* Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done puppetmaster is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. root@jeffs-desktop:/etc/puppet# I also tried the installation procedure discussed in https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/install_puppet/install_debian_ubuntu.html and that doesn't help, because apt-get thinks I am up-to-date on everything. I think I am stuck. Any advice? Many thanks in advance. Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
