I am using puppet-enterprise-3.3.2-el-6-x86_64.tar.gz to install puppet enterprise, after installation I got

ERROR: Could not install required packages--this may be due to a network failure or incorrect repository
  settings. You must install the following packages before you can install Puppet Enterprise:
 pe-puppet-server and pe-rubycas-server

while I install I got 

pe-httpd.worker is stopped.

Also I tried "service pe-httpd status" it shows 

pe-httpd.worker is stopped.

I suspect due to this I got n/w failure error

I have done below validation 1) yum.log - No error message 2) install_log.lastrun.$HOSTNAME - No error message. I have seen complete message. 3) puppet --version - shows 3.7.2 (Puppet Enterprise 3.7.0) 4) also I ran puppet apply -e 'notify { "Hello, world!": }' - it worked with out any error

I tried to install pe-puppet-server(just for my referrence)

yum install pe-puppet-server

got below message

Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager

Setting up Install Process
Package pe-puppet-server-3.6.2.14-1.pe.el6.noarch is obsoleted by pe-puppetserver-common-3.7.2.2-1.pe.el6.noarch which is already installed
Nothing to do

but in package folder I could not find pe-puppetserver-common-3.7.2.2-1.pe.el6.noarch. Not sure how it get inatalled.

Also I grep "rmp -qa|grep pe-puppetserver-common-3.7.2.2-1.pe.el6.noarch" it shows pe-puppetserver-common-3.7.2.2-1.pe.el6.noarch. I unstalled PE and done yum clean all. Again tried to re-install PE. Again getting same error.

The network failure or incorrect repository error is common.If not, please help me to resolve.

Also I try to install3.3.2 but why it shows 3.7 PE version please correct me if my understaning is wrong.

  • Well, so you do have a package that obsoletes one requirement, `pe-puppet-server`. What about `pe-rubycas-server`, have you tried installing that? - The `pe-httpd.worker` is a red herring, I think. – Felix Frank Dec 16 '14 at 11:52
  • Yes. I tried installing pe-rubycas-server. getting same obsoleted error for package console. When I try to install, getting already installed nothing to do message. – Olive Dec 17 '14 at 00:37

You already installed Puppet Enterprise 3.7 on this computer. You cannot downgrade to 3.3 using the installer.

  • Notsure whether PE3.7 already installed or not,but open source 3.7 already installed. I have uninstalled open sourece and installed puppet enterprise. – Olive Dec 17 '14 at 00:35
  • Your own output shows Puppet Enterprise 3.7 installed, before you tried to install PE 3.3. – Michael Hampton Dec 17 '14 at 00:41
  • NO. PE3.7 was not installed before in master. Because after I uninstalled PE 3.7 and run puppet --version, it will not show anything. Only I installed PE3.7 and version command it shows "3.7.2 (Puppet Enterprise 3.7.0)" – Olive Dec 17 '14 at 03:22

    Your uninstallation was not complete, apparently. Yes, you may have gotten rid of the `puppet` binary. But the `pe-puppetserver-common` package lingers and causes issues. Make sure to remove all Puppet related packages before proceding. – Felix Frank Dec 17 '14 at 09:39
  • Thanks. I sorted out the problem. It seems problem with repo, its pointing incorrectly. Thank you all for your responses. – Olive Dec 18 '14 at 08:39
