My problem is now resolved... Thanks for your replies, Dominic and Johan. I'm not using puppet to manage the puppet server, but in the course of troubleshooting, I tried running puppet agent -t on the puppet server. This gave me a certificate mismatch error and when I deleted the old certificate and created & signed a new one, everything worked.
Sorta puzzles me. Why would this mismatched agent certificate on puppetmaster interfered with other puppet agent runs? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
