ERROR: Connection reset by peer

[Dmitry]

Hello!

I use puppet-2.7.6 to sync several config files in my network.
I use neither Mongrel nor Passenger (which probably means I use
Webrick as http backend).

When I run puppet agent from another machine, everything is fine.

When I run agent from the same machine server is running on, I get the
following error:
# puppet agent --server
=<hostname.com> --no-daemonize --onetime --verbose --no-show_diff
<skip>
err: /Stage[main]/Bsd/File[/root/.ssh/authorized_keys]: Could not
evaluate: Conn
ection reset by peer Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet:///modules/bsd/
root/.ssh/authorized_keys: Connection reset by peer at /usr/local/etc/
puppet/mod
ules/bsd/manifests/init.pp:117

If I run same command several times, I usually get the same error at
different stages (during request to different files puppet manages).
But error is always the same: Connection reset by peer.

Sometimes it finishes w/o error, but almost always I get this error.
Some kind of random.

What does it mean and how can I avoid it?

Thanks!

Or, if this situation is too uncommon, is there any way to ask puppet
agent to always act as if master is running on remote host, even if it
runs on the same host and to always communicate via network?

Thanks.

Probably best to ask this question on the Puppet-user list rather than
the Puppet-dev list.

Hi Dmitry,

This looks to be http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10881

Can you provide a sample manifest that can be used to reproduce the
issue? Also, is this new behavior in 2.7.6 or are you seeing this with
older versions?

Thanks,
Josh
