Puppet users - Oct 2010 - Override puppet environment at the command line

Hi all.


My puppet client has "environment = envA" defined in
/etc/puppet/puppet.conf, but I''d like to override this manuall at the
command line: "puppetd --server puppet.master.com --environment=envB".
This
doens''t seem to work, so it always run code from envA. Is there a way
to
override the environment variable like this?


Best regards,
Kenneth Holter

Which version are you running?  Could you share the puppet.conf in your
master to see how you set the environments?

Once I had this issue and the settings were ok until I realized that in the
client there were two conf files in /etc/puppet those were puppet.conf and
puppetd.conf the latter was used in older versions of puppet.
