Puppet users - Dec 2012 - Trying, Trying and Trying and still cannot make puppet and client work :-(

I have two box with centos 6.3 and centos 5.8 running  puppet master 3.0 
and puppet client 2.7  respectively. I can make master work when I use 
"puppet apply" on it and it works fine but I have not been able to do
that
with client, I cannot make it work, when i run the following command in 
client it shows the following output

*puppet agent --test --server=''puppet.xyz.com''*
info: Caching catalog for puppetclient.xyz.com
info: Applying configuration version ''1356631880''
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.06 seconds
*
*and on master when i give the following command it works*

puppet apply -e "include squid"*
/Stage[main]/Squid/Package[squid]/ensure: created
Finished catalog run in 39.18 seconds

Puppet master has the init.pp files in 
/etc/puppet/modules/squid/manifests/init.pp which contains following lines 
:-

class squid {
case $operatingsystem {
        centos, redhat: {
        $service_name = ''squid''
        $conf_file    = ''squid.conf''
}
}

package { ''squid'':
  ensure => ''installed'',
}

service { ''squid'':
  ensure => ''stopped'',
  enable => ''false'',
  require => Package [ ''squid'' ]
 }
 }

What else do I need to do to make client work. I have searched internet and 
they show different command and some of them not even work what should I do 
to learn puppet and make it work. Thank you for your input.

Hi,

I think you should start here,
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/agent_master_basic.html

You will need to declare your client node definition in either the sites.pp or
more normally nodes.pp.

node foo  {
  include squid
}

puppet apply - applies a local manifest
puppet agent - talks to master

Cheers
Den

what does your puppetmaster''s site.pp have in it? Also, I''m
not super sure,
but you might want to at least make the puppetmaster and client the same 
version. If you don''t have the packages readily available you could
install
them easily via gem.

Hi There,
A couple of suggestions if you are starting to learn Puppet.
* Build an environment where you are using the same major release of the 
software, ie All 3.x or 2.7 master/clients
  Although it is supported to have masters running later versions, 
consistency is key when you are learning the basics.

* Familiarize yourself with how nodes are classified to apply 
configurations to nodes.

In your example , you have created a module to manage squid, and it is only 
applied when you apply the squid class to the machine via the include 
statement.

To make this persistent, you need to classify your node, most commonly via 
a node definition in the site.pp manifest file.

Have a read of this document about node definitions, it should help you: 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/lang_node_definitions.html

You may also find the following very useful:

* Learning Puppet - http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/index.html
* Pro Puppet - James Turnbull & Jeffrey McCune
* The Puppet cookbook - http://puppetcookbook.com/
* Puppet modules fundamentals - 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/modules_fundamentals.html

Cheers,

K

In addition to all that, one quick thing to lower the barrier to entry is 
to just start off with this in your default node: 

node default {
  notify {"hello world": }
}
