I''ve run into an odd one on one of my new RHEL 6 boxes. Puppet and
Facter
seem to disagree about the value of a fact.
Puppet version: 2.7.9
Facter version: 1.6.4
Module: puppetlabs-apache
apache::params falls through its if structure:
if $::osfamily == ''redhat'' or $::operatingsystem ==
''amazon'' {
...
} elsif $::osfamily == ''debian'' {
...
} else {
fail("Class[''apache::params'']: Unsupported
operatingsystem:
$::operatingsystem or osfamily: $::osfamily")
}
The module returns the following error:
Error 400 on SERVER: Class[''apache::params'']: Unsupported
operatingsystem:
RedHat or osfamily: Linux
Facter, however, seems to think osfamily is ''RedHat'' as it
should be:
facter -p osfamily
RedHat
It''s very strange. Have any of you seen this one before?

I wasn''t sure, too many different languages.... I guess for a test you could code it == RedHat, but we have a lot of RHEL 6 and I suspect would have hit this somewhere.

Re: [Puppet Users] Facter & Puppet disagree on RHEL 6?
It''s not that simple. Puppet thinks osfamily is ''Linux'' whereas facter returns ''RedHat'' at the command prompt.

Perhaps it is using different libdirs in the two cases, or maybe you have two completely separate Facters on the system.

Re: [Puppet Users] Facter & Puppet disagree on RHEL 6?
I''ve checked, but there''s only one set of RPMs installed and the facter binary points to those. # rpm -qa | grep puppet pe-puppet-enterprise-release-2.0.3-0.pe.el6.noarch pe-puppet-2.7.9-3.pe.el6.noarch pe-rubygem-puppet-module-0.3.4-2.pe.el6.noarch rpm -qa | grep facter pe-facter-1.6.4-2.pe.el6.noarch # which facter /usr/local/bin/facter # which puppet /usr/local/bin/puppet There''s nothing installed from tarball or gem, this is a newly built box with just our standard RPM setup on it.

And "find / -name ''facter.rb''" doesn''t turn up any duplicates? Since Puppet and / or Facter are behaving abnormally, it is not safe to assume anything about the state of the box, particularly with regard to those components. Especially so if the Puppet and Facter RPMs you are using are part of your "standard RPM setup", such that you know they work correctly on others of your systems. You could consider installing custom facts with which to probe Facter''s own operating environment in the two cases. You should also snoop the agent''s catalog requests to compare the facts it sends with the ones command-line Facter reports. I think it''s likely that the problem is on the agent end, but this way you can verify that its not the master somehow mixing things up.

Re: [Puppet Users] Facter & Puppet disagree on RHEL 6?
Argh, never mind. It''s a garden variety client-server version mismatch. I must''ve grabbed the wrong version when building the image. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
