Just started a "pilot" puppet server for real after messing around in VMs for the past week or so... I used the 0.24.0 since it was available, and on the test run, got this: err: Could not prefetch package provider ''yum'': Execution of ''/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/package/yumhelper.py'' returned 512: /usr/bin/python:

...ebuild it yourself manually for now. I am trying to get my connectivity issues resolved and build the RHEL rpm''s as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can just make the change manually (simply remove the lockdir setting from /etc/puppet/puppetd.conf) David [1] http://people.redhat.com/dlutter/puppet-0.22.1-2.src.rpm

I just upgraded from 0.23.2-1 on RHEL 4&5 to 0.24.1-1. I used Dlutter''s repository. What a mess I''m in now. Anyway to make a long story short I moved all of the old configs out of the way (/etc/puppet, /var/lib/puppet) and started over with a fresh install. I can''t get puppetd on the server to request a cert. If I do a "puppetd -v -...

I''m receiving a "warning: Could not get config; using cached copy" when running "puppetd --test" with the latest puppet and puppet-server RPMs from dlutter''s site. Has anyone else seen this problem or can give me an idea of where to start looking for the problem?

Just wondering if anyone has built (or found) Puppet rpm packages for RHEL4 x86_64 version.

What is the right way to write definition so that defaults can be overriden? $puppetdir = "puppet://$server/files" define remotefile($source, $owner = "root", $group = "root", $mode = 0644, $backup = false, $recurse = false) { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup,

What''s the correct yum repo to use for installing Puppet & Facter on RHEL5 and Centos5? I used to get them from the dlutter-rhel5 repo but this seems to be massively out of date now - latest version of puppet-server in there is 0.24.5-1.el5 and facter 1.5.4-1.el5. In Epel I see puppet-server 0.24.8-1.el5.1 and facter 1.5.4-1.el5 which is better but isn''t 1.5.4 the version that hangs? In epel-testing there is...

Hi, I was managing a bunch of Centos 4.5 with Puppet until the ruby security patch bit me creating ssl problems. As I''m not able/willing to patch the installed version I tried upgrading to dlutter''s 0.24.0-2.el5 version. Unfortunately this didn''t help much. So I removed the server and client installation completely (making sure to manually remove the config, ssl, ... directories). However when I try to run ''puppetd -v -o'' on a client I only get: [root@s...

...the puppetd process grows slowly (over a few days) to the point where it exceeds 100MB. This triggers an alert and we restart the daemon, but I''m curious whether anyone has noticed similar behavior. Details are: Server: CentOS 4.5 x86 (on VMWare Server guest) RPM install from dlutter repo (puppet-0.23.2-1.el4) The only thing I can think of offhand is that this is related to file copy actions -- we copy a few large-ish directories that way (SNMP MIB files, for example). I''m not quite sure where to start digging to find the cause, so if anyone has any ideas, I'&...

I''m getting the following error when trying to run puppetd on the server. I''m using version 0.23.2 from the dlutter repo. The OS is RHEL 5. Any idea what this is? I see reference to namespaceauth.conf regarding this problem but I can''t find anything definitive. [puppet]# puppetd -v -o err: Could not call puppetmaster.freshness: #<RuntimeError: HTTP-Error: 500 Internal Server Error > err: Could...

All, I am trying to use virt-convert to convert a KVM/libvirt guest to VMWare ESX 4, and getting an error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have created a virt-image image file as shown at http://people.redhat.com/dlutter/virt-image/virt-image-xml.html. See below for the xml file. I am using the following command for the conversion, and am getting the error shown : /usr/bin/virt-convert -i virt-image -o vmx -D vmdk mon03.xml mon03 ERROR Couldn't import file "mon03.xml": Couldn't import file...

At long last, 0.24.0 has been released. Look for your friendly packagers to package it up in the near future, but in the meantime you can download it: http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-0.24.0.tgz I''ll be walking the different release sites (RubyForge et al) and posting it there, too. Look for a related announcement later today on changes in development practices

Hi, everyone -- I downloaded puppet and have been playing with it. I''m using the RPM''s for RHE4 created by David (mentioned on the install page: http://people.redhat.com/dlutter/yum/rhel4/) with RHE''s ruby 1.8.1-7: ruby-1.8.1-7.EL4.8 ruby-libs-1.8.1-7.EL4.8 ruby-devel-1.8.1-7.EL4.8 I''m sure this is an easy one; all the same, I''m stumped. Please bear with me as it''s my maiden voyage, both with Puppet and Ruby. We''d like to ma...

Hi all, The docs say: "Note that all defined types support automatically all metaparameters." But when I try (with Puppet 0.24.5 on Centos 5.2, courtesy of the dlutter packages) the following: define unzip (...) { exec { ... } if $alias { Exec[...]{ alias +> $alias } } unzip { ....: alias => "..." } As is inferred by the LanguageTutorial to work, and as does work for require, subscribe, etc., I get the following error...

Hi, I''m exploring Puppet and have hit a rather weird problem. The puppetmaster server is running CentOS4, fully updated, with puppet installed from the dlutter RPM repo, version 0.20.0-1.el4. I tried adding the remotefile function definition from http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/documentation/installation.html in /etc/puppet/manifests/utils/remotefile.pp but when I start puppetmasterd I get: riffraff:brown /etc/puppet/manifests/utils $ sudo /usr...

I updated to 0.22.3-1 from the dlutter repo (CentOS 4.4) and I''m still having trouble adding new nodes as others saw from the previous version, though I believe the error is different now. The procedure I used was: <client> /etc/init.d/puppet once -v <server> /usr/sbin/puppetca --sign nodename <client> /etc/...

...r/lib/ruby/... and checked that there are all of the prereqs in there, and there seems to be. So now I''m thinking that perhaps 1.8.1 is too old for Puppet? Or have I done something stupid? All I''ve really done after installing facter, puppet and puppet- server RPMs from the dlutter repository is create the following files and directories, as per the install guide: /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp /etc/puppet/manifests/functions.pp /etc/puppet/manifests/os/ /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/ Any ideas? Thanks Jesse

...e'': no such file to load -- puppet (LoadError) from /usr/sbin/puppetd:152 I''m very familiar with ruby so I''m not sure how to go about debugging this.

I just talked to Mike McGrath from Fedora Infrastructure, and he told me that they are seeing load spikes (not quite performance problems yet, but definitely a concern) in their setup. As an example, the graph [1] shows a typical client - the spikes from 16:00 to 8:00 are almost exclusively puppetd doing its thing. It seems that the most likely culprit is the fileserver - they serve 500-1500

Hello, I just installed the latest version of puppet and puppetmaster on an up to date RHEL4 system. If I turn on ''storeconfigs'' on the puppetmaster server I get the following error: debug: Calling puppetmaster.getconfigerr: Could not retrieve configuration: Uncaught exception No such file to load -- sqlite3 in method puppetmaster.getconfig I have gems and rails installed
