Hi All,

I have installed 4.3 puppet enterprise. It was running till yesterday but suddenly it stopped running. Please let me know where to look and what to do.

puppet agent --test error message

Error:

Is the puppetmaster up and listening on that name?

Sorry to interject, but does your master and agent machine have enough space in /var?

Hello.  I had this issue as well.  My VM only has 2GB of RAM total and puppetserver was configured to use the same, 2GB.  That's why it failed. The puppetserver service never was starting. I edited /etc/default/puppetserver to only allow puppet server to use 1GB and then the service started sucessfully. Change -Xms1G and -Xmx1G to reflect how many GB of RAM you want to allocate. (i.e. -Xms2G or -Xms4G)

JAVA_ARGS="-Xms1G -Xmx1G -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

Afterwards run sudo service puppetserver restart and see if it loads.

Thanks a bunch for this post Jason as this was exactly my problem!  I'm surprised how much digging I had to do to get to this solution finally.
