New to puppet and recieving mcollective error

[Alan Renouf]

Im new to puppet and installed it in my home lab to mess with, when i installed it i used the hostname rather than FQDN so went back and changed puppet and reran the certificate tool to regenerate the certificates etc, the agent works fine now but i am getting an mccollective error i think, is there anything in the config i need to change for mccollective after altering the name to the FQDN?  My error is below..  Thanks!

It was a VM so i just went back to the OS snapshot and re-installed puppet and made sure i used the FQDN, all working fine now.

In case you run into this again. This appears to be an issue backing up the original configuration files to the puppet server. I would check the global configuration in the puppet master site.pp. Double check the server setting, should look similar to below:

File { backup => main }

filebucket { 'main':
  path => false,
  server => 'puppet.example.com',
}

HTH,
