Puppet 204 - System Administration Using Puppet FAQ
Question:
I am getting the following error when installing Puppet Enterprise:
Could not start Service[pe-console-services]: Execution of '/bin/systemctl start pe-console-
services' returned 1: Job for pe-console-services.service failed because the control process exited
with error code. See "systemctl status pe-console-services.service" and
"journalctl -xe" for details.
Answer:
You need to verify that you have the FQDN of your server in `/etc/hosts`. If the FQDN is not there, Puppet will not install properly. Make sure you review the course videos covering installation. (Video 1, Video 2).
Example:
127.0.0.1 username.mylabserver.com localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
Question:
I'm unable to access the Puppet Console (https://username.mylabserver.com:3000) after installation.
Answer:
The URL https://username.mylabserver.com:3000 is only for installing Puppet Enterprise. You need to access the console using https://username.mylabserver.com. Don't add port 3000.
