Hello, I''m building some modules for a standalone client. At some point, it may be that this machine will get its configuration from a puppetmaster, but for now its not necessary. One thing that is giving me fits is that I can''t figure out what to use as a file''s source. If I use puppet:// or file://, then puppet says it can''t find the filebucket. (which doesn''t surprise me - there''s no server to connect to.) On the other hand, if I just say source => "exim/files/exim.conf", for example, it says err: Could not create... Parameter source failed: Got other URL type ''''... So I would imagine this is something well settled, but I''m baffled. I''d like to find a way to get this to work with the standalone client, preferably through puppet.conf or fileserve.conf, so that if this module is later running on a puppetmaster, it still works. Any thoughts? Thanks, Mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

In fileserver.conf, I have "path /root/modules". In my module, I''ve tried every permutation of relative path, leading slash, and path from / (root) that I can think of. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I had the impression that puppetd was required to serve up files. My local puppet only configs used hard pathnames to a local cache I create.

Thats pretty much it for modules You don''t need to have anything in fileserver.conf for modules.

Although I don''t know anything about the internal mechanism about this I do this at a regular basis while developing modules.

Right. I think the difference here is none of my code is in modules, its just flat. Its good to know I could convert it that way. Thanks.

For the sake of posterity or anyone who might have a similar problem
to the one that I had (at the beginning of this thread...)
I had copied my basic puppet manifests and modules from a setup that
used a puppetmaster. In my site.pp, there was a "File { backup =>
main }" declaration which screwed up the filebucket for the standalone
client.
In short, duh. But, I was looking for the error somewhere in the
module or module configuration, and never bothered to look in site.pp.
