Looks like a file permissions error - I had similar when I started playing with puppet device... Check if the user you''re running puppet as has permissions to write to ''/var/opt/lib/pe-puppet/devices''. HTH Gav On Monday, 5 November 2012 16:18:03 UTC, meiji wang wrote:> > 1.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: err: Could not request certificate when I run "puppet device"
Hey, I tried a Lotta things. Nothing seemed to work so I bought up a new VM and carefully installed puppet following steps on website and things started to work. But I always had a doubt that I did not have the config file right or once its wrong the changes does not take effect, just my guess. Try with config file if it doesn''t work just resort to re-install. Vatsa -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
