Failed to apply catalog: Netowork is unreachable - connect(2)

[Anup Singh]

I tried my best to follow the instruction given at the following page however the result is ZERO for the last two months.

I am spending much of my time hitting the wrong corner and it looks like no one know the right answer to the puppet problems. Installing and configuring puppet is a tough jobs

Ok enough of my story.

tried to follow the instructions given in puppet prove of concept but failed:

Hi Anup,

   Try disabling the firewall/ iptables of both the machine puppetserver and puppet client. If you want firewall to be running then add rules for ports 8140, 61613, and 443 in iptalbes.

Commands to add rule in iptables,

# iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport <portnumber> -j ACCEPT

# service iptables save

# service iptables restart

Thanks and Regards,

This is not a Puppet problem.  It is a problem with the networking configuration on the client.  The Puppet agent cannot establish a network connection to the master to request a catalog.  There are several possible problems here, among them:

• No external network interface is configured.  There are many possible reasons for this, such as faulty provisioning, missing NIC driver or firmware, or all NICs disabled in BIOS.
• NIC is unusable or incorrectly configured.  I've occasionally been bitten by this on laptops that have a switch to disable the NIC's radio -- when the radio is off, no wireless connections can be made.  Alternatively, if the the NIC is configured for DHCP but it gets bad or no configuration from the DHCP server, then it may not be able to reach the network.
• Strict firewall configuration.

No amount of messing around with Puppet manifests or configs will get you around this.
