Brian, Sorry for getting a little bent out of shape, it's just that my boss is pushing on me, etc. etc.
Anyways, I think I see an issue. I saw this in the log file on a client, and I bet I'll see it on many others if I looked. Sep 18 10:48:55 puppetd[17896]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Could not retrieve catalog: undefined method `-' for #<XMLRPC::DateTime: 0x8e6cf14> Looks like that started at around the same time that I went from using Webrick for the web server to Apache2 in front of mongrel. I basically used the httpd.conf that is on the Puppet web site. http://www.reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrel Well at least now I see there's a problem that can be resolved. Thank you for helping me see the forest for the trees (or whatever that expression is!) Now I need to troubleshoot my apache2/mongrel configuration (as I'm guessing that's where the issue lies).
