I have a puppetmaster on an Amazon EC2 instance of Ubuntu 12.04. All of the puppet nodes I am running are also on ubuntu server 12.04. I can connect any of the nodes on a wireless or LAN connection. When I switch my node to a Verizon mobile 3g or 4g device I run "puppet agent -t" and I get the message
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Connection time out - SSL_connect warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run err: Could not send report: Connection timed out - SSL_connect Before I got the message there was a long pause about 20 minutes long trying to do the update. I can download and install packages with the 3g connection using apt-get install. I can access webpages including secure pages using Lynx. I can ping the Puppet Master. I wanted to make sure I was getting through to the Puppet Master so I removed the certificate from both the Puppet Master and the Client. Then I ran "puppet agent -t" and the certificate was signed and I can see it again on the Puppet Master and the client. I checked port 8140 to see that it is open in Amazon, and it is. There is no firewall enabled in the instance itself. Next I limited the puppet update to only one trivial module and nothing changed. Lastly, I connected a node that is on a desktop version of Ubuntu 12.10 and connected my Verizon device. I had the similar behavior. The system paused for 10 to 20 minutes like before then gave me the message: Error: Failed to apply catalog: execution expired Error: Could not send report: execution expired Since I have little experience with puppet or these devices, I suspect the device has some sort of interrupt or time out on the device that causes problems with the puppet process. Anyways as far as I can tell the only thing I cannot do with this connection is update puppet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
