While Patrick's default reply is perfectly true and upgrading will probably fix this it isn't helpful if for some reason you need to run standard 10.04 LTS packages from the main repository and are therefore stuck on Puppet 0.25.4 When I had the same error I found that it was a problem with my client finding the master. I assume SERVER_NAME is the server's fqdn similar to myserver.domain.com ? Can you ping SERVER_NAME from the client? Is there a firewall between the client and server, if so is port 8140 open? (assuming you are using the default) Try with --waitforcert as Felix suggests with... sudo puppetd --server myserver.domain.com --waitforcert 60 --test Cheers Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
