Hi all, We are still running a few dozens of RHEL4 within our Datacenter and I''d like to install a puppet agent to at least collect some inventory (facter) and do a little bit of configuration management. The only puppet agent I managed to found for el4 is 0.22.4 (quite old) which we installed with a facter 1.6.4 and a ruby 1.8.7.72. At first we had issues with "requires" until we export a RUBYLIB variable to indicate where to find all ruby libraries (/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/). Currently, there is no more error at start, but the process still do not run ... Any idea ? Regards -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Go to RHEL 5 Less trouble in the long run On Oct 4, 2013, at 9:01 AM, yannig rousseau wrote:> Hi all, > > We are still running a few dozens of RHEL4 within our Datacenter and I''d like to install a puppet agent to at least collect some inventory (facter) and do a little bit of configuration management. > > The only puppet agent I managed to found for el4 is 0.22.4 (quite old) which we installed with a facter 1.6.4 and a ruby 1.8.7.72. > At first we had issues with "requires" until we export a RUBYLIB variable to indicate where to find all ruby libraries (/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/). > > Currently, there is no more error at start, but the process still do not run ... > > Any idea ? > > Regards > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to puppet-users+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out.-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Sure and even rhel6... The trouble is that we host application for client which we cannot migrate :-( So we are stuck with a few RHEL4 we cannot upgrade On Fri, Oct 4, 2013 at 3:50 PM, Dan White <ygor@comcast.net> wrote:> Go to RHEL 5 > Less trouble in the long run > > On Oct 4, 2013, at 9:01 AM, yannig rousseau wrote: > > Hi all, > > We are still running a few dozens of RHEL4 within our Datacenter and I''d > like to install a puppet agent to at least collect some inventory (facter) > and do a little bit of configuration management. > > The only puppet agent I managed to found for el4 is 0.22.4 (quite old) > which we installed with a facter 1.6.4 and a ruby 1.8.7.72. > At first we had issues with "requires" until we export a RUBYLIB variable > to indicate where to find all ruby libraries (/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/). > > Currently, there is no more error at start, but the process still do not > run ... > > Any idea ? > > Regards > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to puppet-users+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the > Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this topic, visit > https://groups.google.com/d/topic/puppet-users/3gwMqrvMJ2g/unsubscribe. > To unsubscribe from this group and all its topics, send an email to > puppet-users+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. >-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I had the exact same problem, I am stuck with EL4. I ended up building ruby, openssl and a few other things from source, then installing the puppet gem. I then bundled each program up into an RPM using fpm to deploy. So far its working great, but it took a while to get it working. I recommend while you are doing that, toss newer versions of stuff like python into /opt. It will save you a lot of headaches supporting these machines down the road.
