Hi Joseph,
Based on this line:
SERVER: Failed to submit 'replace facts' command for
pptconsole.ca.local to PuppetDB at pptconsole.ca.local:8081: No route to
host - connect(2)
It sounds as though you may have a DNS issue. If you log in to your puppet
master VM, are you able to ping 'pptconsole.ca.local' from there? You
might also try 'telnet pptconsole.ca.local 8081' to make sure that the
firewall setup you mention has taken effect.
The postgres error may be a separate issue, though. Since you are seeing
this:
Could not start Service[postgresqld]: Execution of '/sbin/service
pe-postgresql start' returned 1:
I would suggest logging into the machine where postgres is installed and
running that command by hand: '/sbin/service pe-postgresql start'.
Hopefully you will get some more detailed information from that.
Also, it might be a good idea for us to move this thread over to the
pe-users mailing list (
https://groups.google.com/a/puppetlabs.com/forum/?hl=en-US#!forum/pe-users ).
Puppet-dev is generally used more for discussions about development around
puppet itself.
Please let us know if you are able to get any additional info based on the
suggestions above!
Thanks
Chris
