Hi,

I am new to puppet. I have configured puppet master and agent. 

1. Executed this "puppetca --sign ip-10-194-18-145.ec2.internal" command in puppet master instance. It returns an output like 

      notice: Signed certificate request for ip-10-194-18-145.ec2.internal

      notice: Removing file Puppet::SSL::CertificateRequest ip-10-194-18-145.ec2.internal at         '/var/lib/puppet/ssl/ca/requests/ip-10-194-18-145.ec2.internal.pem'

   Is there any issue with this error ?

2. Created one site.pp file in puppet master /etc/puppet/manifests folder with below content.

    node 'client' {

        file { "/root/files/test":

                source => "puppet:///files/test"

        }

    }

3 Added below content in puppet master /etc/puppet/fileserver.conf

               path /etc/puppet/files

               allow *.puppet.com

               allow *.internal

4 When I am trying to execute command "puppet apply site.pp" in manifests folder, I am getting an error message like below.

      Could not find default node or by name with 'ip-10-195-207-236.ec2.internal, ip-10-195-207-236.ec2, ip-10-195-207-236' on node ip-10-195-207-236.ec2.internal

I am trying to resolve this issue such a long time.Can any one help me to resolve this issue as early possible?,

Thanks in advance. 

With Regards,

Krishna Bhaskar.

If you are using a master / agent setup, as seems to be the case, then you should be using "puppet agent" on the client nodes, not "puppet apply".  In principle, you could use "puppet apply" instead on the master, but it is better form to stick with one mode everywhere.

The real problem, however, appears to be that puppet does not see any node declaration that it can match to the client node.  The error message shows the node names puppet looked for, including the universal "default" fallback.
