[Daniel Obi]

Greetings,

we just installed puppetmaster 3.7.1 and trying to join a new agent 3.7.1 with the following error:

puppet agent -t --trace --debug

Error: Could not request certificate: Find /devops/certificate/ca?fail_on_404=true resulted in 404 with the message: Not Found: Could not find environment 'devops'

if i try to join with production environment all is fine

puppet.conf on server:

### File managed with puppet ###

## Module:           'puppet'

[main]

    # The Puppet log directory.

    # The default value is '$vardir/log'.

    logdir = /var/log/puppet

    # Where Puppet PID files are kept.

    # The default value is '$vardir/run'.

    rundir = /var/run/puppet

    # Where SSL certificates are kept.

    # The default value is '$confdir/ssl'.

    ssldir = $vardir/ssl

    # Allow services in the 'puppet' group to access key (Foreman + proxy)

    privatekeydir = $ssldir/private_keys { group = service }

    hostprivkey = $privatekeydir/$certname.pem { mode = 640 }

    # Puppet 3.0.x requires this in both [main] and [master] - harmless on agents

So with --env production, the certificate can be requested?

Sounds like a bug. Would you open a ticket for this?

Thanks,

did you check your puppet.conf at your agent ?

maybe you [agent]

environment = devops

try 

environment = production

i saw the error message on my text box when i mess around the testing, i fixed if i change it to production, hope it helps.
