Cannot install modules from Puppet Forge : Failed to load library 'pe_license' for feature 'pe_license'

[Frederic Conrotte]

Hello

I've installed Puppet 3.7.3 with Foreman and when I try to install or search modules on the Puppet forge I get the error
Failed to load library 'pe_license' for feature 'pe_license'

See below

[root@d0puppetmaster modules]# puppet module search ssh --verbose --debug
Debug: Runtime environment: puppet_version=3.7.3, ruby_version=1.8.7, run_mode=user
Notice: Searching https://forgeapi.puppetlabs.com ...
Debug: HTTP GET https://forgeapi.puppetlabs.com/v3/modules?query=ssh
Debug: Failed to load library 'pe_license' for feature 'pe_license'
Error: Could not connect to https://forgeapi.puppetlabs.com
  There was a network communications problem
    The error we caught said 'Connection timed out - connect(2)'
    Check your network connection and try again
Error: Try 'puppet help module search' for usage

[root@d0puppetmaster modules]# puppet --version
3.7.3

It does not seems to be a network issue since I can use wget to make the query :

[root@d0puppetmaster modules]# wget https://forgeapi.puppetlabs.com/v3/modules?query=ssh

Google did not give me any clue for the error
Failed to load library 'pe_license' for feature 'pe_license'

Any idea what's going on ?

Thank you

Frederic

Or maybe the issue is coming from this ?

'Connection timed out - connect(2)

But apart from https://forgeapi.puppetlabs.com/v3/modules?query=ssh

which URL is accessed that the debug log is not showing ?

Ok I found out the issue...

When using Puppet behind a proxy, you have to configure the proxy in puppet.conf user section:

[user]
    http_proxy_host =
    http_proxy_port =
    http_proxy_user =
    http_proxy_password =
