I'm trying to run through this thread to install Puppet on a few test macs. I'm getting some unusual errors.
I'm following the install guide from here: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/InstallationGuide#BuildingtheServer This is what I've done: 1) Install Puppet and Factor packages from Nigel's site 2) create /etc/puppet/puppet.conf with the following content [main] user = 0 group = 0 server = chm200.educ.psu.edu certname = chm200. educ.psu.edu autosign = false [puppetd] evaltrace = true factsync = true 3) create /etc/puppet/fileserver.conf [facts] path /etc/puppet/dist/facts allow * [files] path /etc/puppet/dist/files allow * 4) Created first manifest. /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp # site.pp file { "/etc/sudoers": owner => root, group => root, mode => 440 } 5) mkdir /etc/puppet/dist/facts 6) mkdir /etc/puppet/dist/files 8) sudo puppetmasterd --no-daemonize --verbose This is what I've got: bash-3.2# sudo puppetmasterd --no-daemonize --verbose /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/util/settings.rb:1042:in `parse_file': Could not match line [main] at /etc/puppet/puppet.conf:[main] (Puppet::Error) from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/util/settings.rb:1005:in `each' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/util/settings.rb:1005:in `parse_file' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/util/settings.rb:350:in `unsafe_parse' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/util/settings.rb:344:in `parse' from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/sync.rb:229:in `synchronize' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/util/settings.rb:343:in `parse' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet.rb:177:in `parse_config' from /usr/bin/puppetmasterd:165 Two questions. One, what could be wrong Two, am I supposed to have a space in the certname = chm200. educ.psu.edu entry?
