Puppet users - Nov 2007 - Fileserver configuration Files are created but not replaced

Hi all,

I have a slightly confusing Problem with fileserving.

# /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/ntp.pp

class ntp {
    file { "ntp.conf":
    path => "/etc/ntp.conf",
    source => "puppet://$puppet_server/files/ntp.conf",
    ensure => present,
    mode   => 644,
    owner => root,
    group => root,
         }
           }

Creating missing Files works like a charm:

notice: //workstation/ntp/File[ntp.conf]/ensure: created

But if the file was locally modified, puppet is complaining about
checksum

notice: Starting configuration run
notice: //workstation/ntp/File[ntp.conf]/checksum: checksum changed
''{md5}4d557e8b7791cd8e37dbc448a59ad24f'' to
''{md5}a77901e2119be8ee9783ff0925a3dcaf''
err: Could not find server puppet: getaddrinfo: Name or service not
known
err: //workstation/ntp/File[ntp.conf]/source: change from
{md5}4d557e8b7791cd8e37dbc448a59ad24f to puppet:///files/ntp.conf
failed: Could not find server puppet

The file gets only replaced if I add puppet in /etc/hosts to the server
entry where the puppetmasterd runs

The server is configured in /etc/puppet/puppetd.conf on the client

Am I missing some config entry ? Or should the puppet entry added to
every client /etc/hosts ?

btw. I''m on gentoo w puppet 0.23.2 and ruby 1.8.6_p110-r2


Thanks a lot

You cannot resolve "puppet" into a IP therefore puppet:/// cannot be
used to
reference the fileserver.

Yes, but why gets the file created but not replaced if it is modified ?
It only get replaced if puppet gets resolved to the ip where
puppetmasterd runs.

The default server = puppet but in puppet.conf server variable is set

I thought puppet:// is a service like http:// !?

Thanks

I don''t think that''s entirely correct: I start all my puppetd
processes with "puppetd --factsync --server foo", puppet:/// rules
work fine, and my puppetmaster''s definitely not resolvable as
"puppet".

The puppet:/// URI with no explicit server only became available in the last few
releases, so if (for example) we''re talking about the version that
released with Debian Etch, then puppet:/// URIs won''t work at all.

                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I suspect you want $server here.

Also, when there''s underscores involved, always brace your variables to
remove the human-level ambiguity about what is variable name and what is
literal string.
