puppet agent --test errors

[Mark Matrosow]

Hey guys,
Sorry for my bad english. I'm on a traineeship at the moment. My boss gave me the task to install Puppet on 2 virtual machines and install a package on the puppetclient over the puppetmaster (Im running Debian "wheezy" on both machines).
I configurated both machines and also could sign the puppetclient on the puppetmaster. If I type: puppet agent --test in my clients terminal I get the following error:

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: getaddrinfo: No address associated with hostname
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
err: Could not send report: getaddrinfo: No address associated with hostname

I documented the way of my configurations:
(I did it on German thats why Konfiguration with "K" ;) )
Puppetmaster

Hostname Konfiguration
    Puppetmaster → vi /etc/hostname → „puppetmaster“

Domain/Host Konfiguration
    → vi /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1                 localhost
#127.0.1.1               puppetmaster.puppet puppetmaster
192.168.56.101       puppetmaster.puppet puppetmaster
192.168.56.102       puppetclient1.puppet puppetclient1

# I got 1 auto and 1 static, because i need to network adapters: NAT and Hots-only for my machines, otherwise the connection wouldnt work as it should.

nodes.pp
    Puppetmaster → cd /etc/puppet/manifests → vi nodes.pp →

node ’puppetmaster’  {
    include apache2
 }

site.pp
    /etc/puppet/manifests → vi site.pp

}

        enable => true,
        require => Package['apache2']
}


Puppet.conf
    cd /etc/puppet → vi puppet.conf →

# These are needed when the puppetmaster is run by passenger
# and can safely be removed if webrick is used.
ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN
ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY
puppetclient1 = 192.168.56.102


Puppetclient1

Hostname Konfiguration
    Puppetclient1 → vi /etc/hostname → „puppetclient1“

Domain/Host Konfiguration
    vi /etc/hosts

Would be very kind of you if you guys could help me (:

First thing off the top of my head is that puppet.conf on the client does not define which server is the master.

What happens if you try:

puppet agent --test --server puppetmaster.puppet

Why would anyone foster a dog/cat?
I would rather cry watching them leave our home to live a life of happiness and joy in a loving home than cry because no one stepped up to help them and they died alone, frightened, and sad in a shelter.

Yeah I think that error occurs when the agent node can't resolve the master's hostname. If you don't define a master I believe the default is just the hostname "puppet". It's probably trying to resolve that and failing.
