Hi all, following http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrel it says that hostkey/cert must be owned by puppet:puppet. I tried to keep original path (and also owner) of both files and seems to puppet still works... what problems could it cause to my conf? # grep lib mongrel.conf SSLCertificateFile /var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/gridinstall.pic.es.pem SSLCer...

Hi, I''ve just turned email reporting on for my Puppet installation, and discovered that I''m receiving intermittent failures on files being copied from the file server. Puppet is running every 30 seconds, but I''m getting these errors maybe 12 times in 24 hours. Any thoughts on the significance of this? The error message is a bit opaque for me. Thu Aug 16 18:17:56

Hi all, we activated puppet mail reports but we are receiving a lot of mails when yum fails to update the repos, like this one: (err): Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not get latest version: Execution of ''/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 list available munin-node'' returned 1: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: kbs-CentOS-Extras failure:

Hi, We''re trying to follow the instructions at http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrel (Just using a single puppetmaster/mongrel instance and plain mod_proxy for now, instead of balancer one) We got past the "Server is not a class" error by modifying mongrel.rb We also kind-of got past the: /opt/bin/puppetmasterd:293: undefined method `daemonize'' for #<Mongre...

...ut 30 minutes of running, puppetmasterd starts to complain "puppetmasterd[6875]: Too many connections", and from that point forward will stop compiling catalogs. Puppetmaster is configured using the Mongrel Apache configuration as described here: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrel In addition I''ve disabled all modules except for the "puppet" module which helped push the client upgrade as well as configure the "runinterval" from the pre-upgrade 1 hour run to a 4 hour run interval. At this point there might be a couple dozen 24.8 clients still at...

Hi there I would like to setup my puppetmasterd behind my ADSL modem and manage the nodes on the hosting sites. I can imagine opening ports to the puppetmasterd server will work. Am I right? On the other hand an ideal configuration for me would be a Reverse Proxy setup, so I don''t have to touch the ADSL router. Has anyone setup a puppetmasterd behind a reverse proxy? Any pointers,

Hi. I''m a beginner, but I have a basic puppet setup working. I am doing a manual tarball installation and it seems to be hanging then eventually timing out on just downloading the file: file { "/opt/hadoop-0.20.0.tar.gz": source => "puppet:///hadoop020/hadoop-0.20.0.tar.gz" } I have another module that does the same things and works, my only guess

Hi all, I''ve followed http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrel for configuring my puppet with mongrel. Al seems to work fine, except that, after a reinstall of 40 nodes atone time, I got many kind of errors like: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- err: Could not request certificate: Certificate retrieval failed: .tmp fi...

...entation with what I''ve learned. However, since I''m not an expert with these things, I thought I''d share with the list before updating the wiki. So here''s what I''d change: + Remove this picture: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/attachment/wiki/UsingMongrel/puppetmaster-mongrel.png I just found it confusing and wrong. It implies that a single puppet master contains several Mongrels, and that an external Puppet master must also be run, which is no longer the case. + In my setup I changed the name of the ssl certificate to just "pupp...

I''ve written a short how-to on using Mongrel with Puppet: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrel This is not yet tested for accuracy, but if you''re interested in trying it, please do. I''d like to turn this into a complete guide on how to do so, along with better reasons for doing it (or for not doing it). -- That was just a drill of the emergency y2k system. Had...

Hello, I have 680 hosts reporting into a central puppet server. Yesterday I made a change to site.pp and the nodes/foo.pp and nodes/ bar.pp files to push out some new files (a script to enable LDAP) and it seems that only a handful of stores have downloaded the file and run the script. (I don''t have reporting setup yet other than on a few clients which I did manually) If I ssh into a

I am confused about all the database talk on the list lately. I''ve been playing with Puppet for the last 6 months and have never set up a DB for it to use. What are you guys using the DB for? My first though (really the only thing I could find) was for storing node configurations. But I''m storing them in the file system and it seem to work just fine. What are the advantages

hi,all I want set up a puppet HA structure. but if the puppetd can set more than one server address ,the work will be simple :D if one puppetmaster have error, the client can auto try the next. I think I can use the heartbeat or dns to do this same thing,but not so good. so I want know the puppetd can direct set in the configure file ? if not,will be add this option? -- Huang

...found that switching to Mongrel has fixed this problem for us. We''re currently running 5 instance of puppetmaster under mongrel (with the apache proxy in front) and things are going great.

Hi, Is there a way to have puppetmaster sign new clients'' certificates when using apache+mongrel for serving, without having a separate puppetmaster instance running webrick on a different port/IP? I guess this does not work out of the box because apache is told to do the verification very early in the connection process, at which point it does not yet know that the client is going to
