Question about installing Puppet on client side

michaellopez12 · 09-24-2014, 03:19 PM

I am trying to install puppet as root on a client end server.

Here is the link I am using:
http://www.unixmen.com/install-puppe...centos-6-56-4/

Whenever I run the following command:

yum install -y puppet

i get the following error messages:

Code:

http://mirrors-usa.go-parts.com/centos/6.5/updates/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 6 - "Couldn't resolve host 'mirrors-usa.go-parts.com'"
Trying other mirror.
http://mirrors.xmission.com/centos/6.5/updates/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 6 - "Couldn't resolve host 'mirrors.xmission.com'"
Trying other mirror.

Trying other mirror.
Setting up Install Process
No package puppet available.
Error: Nothing to do

could anyone explain to me why that is? Would it have something to do with my network/DNS configurations and if so how do I fix this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, this will, in the very first instance, be a failure to reach a DNS server from that machine. Maybe you have no DNS servers set, maybe that's on purpose. Is there a web proxy you should be making the machine go by? Given that base level networking is working, along with SSH etc., the answer is much more likely to be in the design of the local environment rather than generic things we can tell you to do in the first instance. Find out how you are meant to use the local network first.
