I installed puppetmaster and puppet on Debian Squeeze from repositories. Everything worked ok, until I tried to renew the certificate of the puppet agents with: #puppet agent --server=puppet.example.com --no-daemonize --verbose -- onetime I get following text: [...] warning: peer certificate won''t be verified in this SSL session err: Could not request certificate: Error 400 on SERVER: Connection: close Content-Type: text/plain Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2011 13:22:30 GMT Server: WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/1.8.7/2010-08-16) OpenSSL/0.9.8o Content-Length: 575 Invalid line 1: (bunch of garbled text) Exiting; failed to retrieve certificate and waitforcert is disabled [...] Everything seems normal concerning the renewal of a certificate, up to the line starting with "Invalid line 1", followed by 11 lines of garbled text. I did a --clean and --revoke on the server, I erased the ssl directory on the agent machine. But still the garbled text is there, no exchange of certificates. I tried lots of things, among others: - a clean reinstall of the puppet server, after backing up /etc/ puppet. - a reinstall of the a client (test) server Can anyone provide a hint on what is going wrong? Which file is "Invalid line 1" referring to? Thanks for your time, Toni -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
