Thanks Peter for the response! I did this:
Using the guide from HowtoForge posted earlier.... I fudged the in-place manifests file to: ## site.pp ## # This file (/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests/site.pp) is the main entry point # used when an agent connects to a master and asks for an updated configuration. # # Global objects like filebuckets and resource defaults should go in this file, # as should the default node definition. (The default node can be omitted # if you use the console and don't define any other nodes in site.pp. See # http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#nodes for more on # node definitions.) ## Active Configurations ## # PRIMARY FILEBUCKET # This configures puppet agent and puppet inspect to back up file contents when # they run. The Puppet Enterprise console needs this to display file contents # and differences. # Define filebucket 'main': #filebucket { 'main': # server => 'learn.localdomain', # path => false, #} # Make filebucket 'main' the default backup location for all File resources: #File { backup => 'main' } # DEFAULT NODE # Node definitions in this file are merged with node data from the console. See # http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#nodes for more on # node definitions. # The default node definition matches any node lacking a more specific node # definition. If there are no other nodes in this file, classes declared here # will be included in every node's catalog, *in addition* to any classes # specified in the console for that node. #node default { # This is where you can declare classes for all nodes. # Example: # class { 'my_class': } #} # Create "/tmp/testfile" if it doesn't exist. class test_class { file { "/tmp/testfile": ensure => present, mode => 644, owner => root, group => root } } # tell puppet on which client to run the class node pc.jabber.com { include test_class } The domain is just using local DNS server which is not on web to pre-test a jabber implementation. On both systems when I run: puppet agent --test I keep getting these errors: Server: [root@ps ~]# /opt/puppet/bin/puppet agent --test info: Retrieving plugin err: /File[/var/opt/lib/pe-puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known err: /File[/var/opt/lib/pe-puppet/lib]: Could not evaluate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet://learn.localdomain/plugins: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known info: Loading facts in facter_dot_d info: Loading facts in facter_dot_d info: Loading facts in facter_dot_d info: Loading facts in facter_dot_d err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run err: Could not send report: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Client: [root@pc ~]# puppet agent --test err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: hostname was not match with the server certificate warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run err: Could not send report: hostname was not match with the server certificate .....am creating the cert via: puppetd -t but not having much luck?? :-( Regards, Kaya On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 1:55 PM, Peter Berghold <salty.cowd...@gmail.com> wrote: > Kaya, > > The manifest file(s) are something you create to tell puppet what you want > done.
