Hello there, Since the update with ruby all my puppet function is dead (well known issue with the cert) . There has been some discutions on the dev list on how to patch this for future versions. I have read the list and wondered how we can solve the issue while waiting for the .24. I am in beta test of the .23.x version but on my production system i wanted to find a way to solve this now

I tried to open a Trac ticket on this, but the menus are not working for some reason right now. I''ve noticed this in our puppetmasterd logs since upgrading: puppetmasterd[7943]: Could not call: nested *?+ in regexp: /^\/var\/www\/html\/download\/NSClient++-0.2.7.zip/ Seems like the data passed should have RE characters quoted (ala \Q...\E in Perl) prior to this test. Regards, Mark

I am working on some initial testing of puppet and noticed that when using the package type, I see this in my client logs (from different runs): warning: Found multiple default providers for package: up2date, yum; using up2date warning: Found multiple default providers for package: yum, up2date; using yum This is on a CentOS 4.4 client with puppet-0.22.0-1.el4 (from dlutter repo). After

I thought this made sense, but apparently I am mistaken: define copyfile($owner = root, $group = root, $repo = "config", $mode, $source = $name, $purge = false, $backup = false, $recurse = false, $server = $servername) { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup,

I''ve tried replying twice in the past few days to a request for more information on a bug I filed. When I do, I get: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <trac@reductivelabs.com> (reason: 550 5.1.1 <trac@reductivelabs.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table) Regards, Mark -- Mark D.

I have a client I''m testing where 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

Is it possible to have a file copied from the fileserver but only when it doesn''t exist? I want to prevent changes on the client from being wiped out if it is different. We have a couple of config files that the DBAs are resistant to managing through puppet. They currently manually deploy changes and I don''t want those changes wiped out if the server isn''t updated. I

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/init.d/puppet once -v This used to work for new nodes, now I

I have very strange problem. I set up puppet client on serveral servers but have problem with one of them. When I invoke: root@www ~ # puppet agent --server puppetmaster.domain.ltd --test notice: Ignoring --listen on onetime run info: Caching catalog for puppetclient.domain.ltd info: Applying configuration version ''1326444431'' notice: Finished catalog run in

In the normal override method, you can change the value of a parameter, but can you unset a parameter? file { "/etc/somefile": mode => 644, owner => "dude" } File ["/etc/somefile"] { mode => unset } ??

I see the instructions for creating custom facter recipes here: http://projects.reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Adding_Facts and in this thread, James Turnbull suggests that Facter might some day support other languages besides ruby: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/8c127ae8898d3bcf/c5ca551b77c4eb67?lnk=gst&q=facter+perl#c5ca551b77c4eb67 He writes:

Hi, This is totally off-topic (it''s an rpm/rpmbuild problem), but I want to get to a point where I''m installing and configuring munin-node with puppet. To do that, I need a clean, standardized way of installing munin-mode on CentOS (RHELish) boxes. I could install munin-node from source via puppet and probably make enough edits that all the files end up in reasonable locations

I recently upgraded my Puppetmaster to 0.24.4 and it looks like my templates are not working properly. All of my clients use the same certificate, built by my original client "xx". I do this using the certname=blah parameter in the puppet.conf on each client. Up until I upgraded each client would use the "xx" certificate (which I had renamed to "blah") and

Hi all, hoping someone may have encountered a problem similar to this before: On my customer''s EC2 based infrastructure, we have implemented the nodeless, truth driven module outlined by Jordan Sissel here http://www.semicomplete.com/blog/geekery/puppet-nodeless-configuration. It''s quite an effective model, especially in the realm of EC2... we still have a puppetmaster

hello,all I write a function. this function will write the client fqdn to a file. But this function only run one time when the puppetmaster recompile the configuration. How can let this function run every time when a client connect to the puppetmaster ? please help me. -- Huang Mingyou

I''m re-posting this because I''m not sure that it got through the first time. If someone could at least echo back that this is reaching the list, I''d appreciate it. (I''m new to the list.) Sometimes (with variable frequency) storeconfigs stores the wrong data in the fact_values table. This has the end result that exported resources, when collected, have

Our puppetmaster runs on a host with multiple interfaces connected to various private networks, with different hostnames for each IP. I''m trying to use $servername in modules to copy files over a private network, but this is always set to the public hostname of the server. That route is blocked by a firewall. Is there a way to use the server variable in puppet.conf in manifests?

Hi everyone, Here are the manifest I am using: In file ''*modules/test/manifest/init.pp*'': class test ( $test = undef, ) { notice("Here is the message: ${test}") } Now in ''*modules/saas/manifests/client/sudo.pp*'': class saas::client::sudo { class { ''test'': } } Now in ''*manifests/sites.pp*'': import

Hi List, Puppet Version: v2.7.13 Question - If I correctly setup multiple manifestdir''s in the puppet.conf file how can I import a node pp file located in a different directory tree to site.pp?
