I must be missing something with how puppet.conf works.
I have configured puppet.conf like so:
[main]
vardir = /var/xyz/puppet
I have a very simple site.pp
file { "$vardir/touch":
ensure => present,
}
I am running puppet 0.25.5, and have the puppetmasterd and puppetd on
the same server. When I start the puppetd client, it gets an empty
$vardir, and tries to create /touch instead of /var/xyz/puppet/touch.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
NP

I''m not sure if there is bug report for that. But remember: catalogs are compiled on the master, so which $vardir should be used? the one from the master or the client one? There might be use for both cases. cheers pete -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwuEpcACgkQbwltcAfKi39zlwCfYh5iY4+8Jh41JYtE28TW/5NQ VMoAn2e+RuOF5UQ7NtKQOyHOIYtkKgYP =Tvv8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
