Puppet users - Nov 2013 - Can't get puppet manifest to run

So I am an UBER-NOOB at Puppet. Today is my first day using it. I am 
following along with the book: Puppet 3 Beginners guide.

Everything was going fine until I start creating a nodes.pp file and 
applying the site.pp.

*The error I am getting is this:*

[root@puppet-san2 manifests]# puppet apply site.pp
Error: Could not find default node or by name with
''puppet-san2.domain.com,
puppet-san2.domain, puppet-san2'' on node puppet-san2.domain.com
Error: Could not find default node or by name with
''puppet-san2.domain.com,
puppet-san2.domain, puppet-san2'' on node puppet-san2.domain.com


*This is my site.pp:*

import ''nodes.pp''


*This is my nodes.pp:*

node ''demo'' {
  file { ''/tmp/hello'':
    content => "Hello, world\n",
  }
}


My puppet server is in DNS and resolves properly. So I''m at a loss. Any
thoughts? I am running puppet community edition 3.3.1 on  a CentOS 6.4 
server

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

- Philippe

nodes need to be matched by fqdn in your manifests.

according to the above, your host has an fqdn of puppet-san2.domain.com, so

here you could rename that node to:

node ''puppet-san2'' {

or

node ''puppet-san2.domain'' {

or

node ''puppet-san2.domain.com'' {


or you could have a node named "default" that would be used when
puppet
can''t match with anything else, although from personal experience I
don''t recomment using the default node since this can lead to pretty
annoying surprises when you forget to create your node and run puppet on
the client.

Gabriel,

That is exactly what the problem was. I somehow did not catch that in the 
reading. I think I was just too excited. :)

Thanks for your help!
