Hi Dan,

I think the problem is that default should not be quoted (see https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/lang_node_definitions.html#syntax):

If you do node "default", then puppet will only apply the class if the node's fqdn is "default".

Hello all,

Been at this problem I have for nearly a week now and it's driving crazy!!! I hope it's simply a case of someone with some fresh eyes taking a look and showing me the error of my ways.

Before I continue with the Puppet deployment, for testing purposes, I just want to create a single user namely djc72uk on a single server. The servers name is lhcadvdeveye05 and you can see below that it has successfully generated a certificate:

# puppetserver ca list --all
Signed Certificates:
lhcadvdeveye05.xxxxx.com (SHA256) F1:07:CD:17:8F:0B:B5:AF:79:8A:13:F3:BA:CA:90:1A:1D:67:2C:74:C2:7F:25:3B:88:E9:34:C5:FB:50:CD:7D
puppet.fixnetix.com (SHA256) 7D:2E:79:6D:DE:97:A7:B0:5D:EB:48:37:3D:B1:0F:B2:C3:E1:7F:ED:70:D9:EC:2D:71:BE:53:4A:7C:9B:B6:81 alt names: ["DNS:puppet", "DNS:puppet.xxxxxx.com"]

I'm seeing the following output from the servers when I run the agent:

# puppet agent --no-daemonize --verbose --onetime
Info: Using configured environment 'production'
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Retrieving locales
Info: Caching catalog for lhcadvdeveye05.xxxxxx.com
Info: Applying configuration version '1569503223'
Notice: Applied catalog in 0.24 seconds

Looks all good here other than it's not applying the module I created namely accounts (see below within the puppet environment).

group { 'djc72uk':

}
}

My gut feel is that the site.pp file is in the wrong place and therefore not being read however, based on the above environment details, I'm struggling to see how that's possible.

Any help will be appreciated here.

Many Thanks,
Dan,

Hello Josh,

Thanks for the reply. Still no luck I'm afraid after changing what you suggested. I even changed node to be fqdn (quoted & unquoted) and that didn't work either. Which again makes me think, for some reason, it's not being read due to perhaps being the the wrong place.

Thanks,

Dan.

Thank you Dirk. However the same issue persists. I even intentionally updated the site.pp with invalid syntax hoping that consequently, the agent run would fail and through a error. The site.pp was updated like so:

node default {}

include accounts

}

Agent still runs:

# puppet agent --no-daemonize --verbose --onetime
