Puppet users - Dec 2012 - Template in site.pp

Can I use a template in site.pp?

I have a templates directory in my /etc/puppet directory which has my 
template, but i get this error message:
Wed Dec 19 09:19:23 -0800 2012 Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog 
from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find template 
''server.xml.erb'' at /etc/puppet/manifests/tcuser.pp:52 on node
qa-bruckner.corp.certifydatasystems.com

Do I have to configure puppet master somehow to let it know that there is 
content in that directory?

TIA.

Hi,

I''m pretty sure there is a template directory config option in puppet
conf
which would default to /var/lib/puppet/templates (you''ll need to verify
this because I can''t at the moment).

If so you should be able to pass that on the command line like so,
puppet agent --templatedir <path> <options>

Of course you can go on to use modules which expects to find templates in
the modules template directory.

This is assuming your declaration looks okay, you haven''t included your
manifest details.

THT,
Den

set templatedir in your configuration file in the [master] section to
a directory full of templates.

But you really should use modules and not just classes or site.pp like this
