Hi, I''m testing puppet from the subversion trunk. I have a rather hacked-together system to install a CRM into one of my nodes, which worked (more or less) with version 0.19.3. When I tried to do a puppet run on a completely clean node it seemed to stall on the ''compilation'' part (I do an exec of ''perl Makefile.PL'' in the appropriate dir). When I broke

How can I express the following in puppet? $http_conf = "/etc/http/conf/httpd.conf" $vhosts_conf = "/etc/http/conf/vhosts.conf" @files = ("$httpd_conf", "$vhosts_conf") foreach f (@files) { file { "$f": owner => root, group => root, mode => 664, source => "puppet://$server/apache/$f", }

Can you wildcard a domain for a node name like the following? node ''*.sub.example.com'' { .... } Thanks, Kent

Hello all. Probably this question has already been posed in the context of another software, but I am unable to find it. I would like to implement a module which should manage munin-clients as well as the munin-server. Here is what I am thinking about implementing: - There are two classes: munin::client and munin::server - munin::clients'' configuration will be managed automatically.

Hi all, I''ve been looking for a good example for how one would build a module, but I couldn''t really find something that I liked, so I went ahead and tried to do it myself. The result is this: a git module (see attachment). Please have a look and comment on it, before I add it to the wiki. I especially want comments on the setup of the module itself, not so much on the git

I''m having this issue where "puppetd -v -o" hangs (won''t return my prompt) when starting a daemon I wrote. If puppetd is running as a daemon a zombie process is created each time puppetd tries to start my daemon. Puppet detects when the daemon is down and starts it just fine. I''m using version 0.22.3 on RHEL 5. Here''s the class. I''ve

I''m trying to manage network files on two nodes, "vico" and "backup." The component "vico_network" below works fine. define vico_network ($owner = ''root'', $group = ''wheel'', $mode = ''644'', $cro_int = ''ne3'', $carp0_skew = '''', $carp1_skew =

Hi folks, I''m overriding some resource attribute in a subclass. It seems that specifying a resource by its alias doesn''t work in a subclass. Looks like a bug, no ? === module-classes.pp === class module::base { file {"/tmp/test-module": alias => test-module, content => "module::base", } } class

I''m trying to come up with a way to manage /etc/puppet on the Puppet server from my workstation. My idea was to place all of /etc/puppet into subversion, check it out to my workstation, commit via ssh, and then use a post-commit to update /etc/puppet. That way any time I made a change in /etc/puppet it would be immediately updated and ready for the next puppetd run. Problem is the

Hello, I want a simple operation in a puppet node like restarting the ssh service if it was stopped. My site.pp is simple as this: import "services/*" node default { include ssh } The services directory as a ssh.pp : class ssh { service { ssh: ensure => running, subscribe => File["/etc/ssh/sshd_config"] } } I''ve stopped the ssh service in the

I''ve been watching the thread where Luke is having to spend time defending his position about documentation. Can we get off that? From my perspective, Luke, I''m glad you have documented as much as you have. I''m one of the few who have been a little stymied by what documentation is available, but in no way do I believe berating you for your lack of documentation is a

I''ve been using Puppet now for a month or so and I''ve come to a problem that may warrant an additional Puppet metaparameter. I''m advocating the addition of a metaparameter called "preaction" (or something like that), which will perform some arbitrary action before the resource is modified. There may be a way to do this within Puppet already (with some

I''ve got the following class that runs if I activate the repo in /etc/yum.conf. If I run "puppetd -t" from the command line it will restart puppetd fine. If I let the class run on it''s own as a deamon puppetd does not restart. The puppetmaster on the other hand does restart using either method. I ran the client in "--debug" but that doesn''t seem to

Hi all, One of the major new features in the upcoming release is that Puppet now uses a graph library internally to handle resource relationships. The big benefit to all of you is that you can use this library to turn these graphs into images. The trick, right now, is adding --graph when you run puppetd. This creates .dot files, which can then be interpreted by the

I have the following test case: file { sendmail-conf: path => "/etc/mail/${fqdn}.mc", owner => "root", group => "wheel", mode => 0644, links => follow, source => "puppet:///sendmail/${hostname}.mc" } $mail_dir = "/etc/mail" $cf_dir = "/usr/share/sendmail/cf/" exec { build-conf: command => "/usr/bin/m4

Greetings - I''ve just started testing Puppet and have a couple of questions: 1. Is there a way to dynamically change a configuraion file that is sent to nodes? For example, I want to modify /etc/hosts to have the hostname and ip address set dynamically - the hosts file shoule look like: 12.34.56.78 node1.example.com 22.35.66.99 server1.example.com But I don''t want to

Hi guys, Unlike what it says in the documentation and the --help output, I can''t seem to get puppetd to use the --server setting. The only way I can get puppetd to work is to include a ''puppet'' alias to the ip of the machine I''m running puppetmasterd on in my hosts file. The strange thing though, is that the logs of my puppetmaster show that it *is* getting

Hi all, Is there a (simple) way to add conditionals to a call to a define? What I want is to run a define only if a file (that gets created somewhere along the run of the define) does not exist. In this way I can skip a whole lot of setup work in the define if I know it has already run once before. I would think adding a unless clause would be a elegant solution (and the other conditionals like

First off, I''m not sure if I should be asking questions about puppetlabs modules here, if not, I apologise... I''m trying to at least setup my mysql replication user through the mysql module, but I seem to be unable to divine the correct way to do this. I''ve tried a number of different variations, but my user doesn''t get the repl_slave_priv on my user

Hi guys, Has anyone yet tackled installing CPAN packages through puppet? I need some that aren''t available as separate debs, so if anyone has an idea how best to do this, I''d like feedback. Thanks, Thijs
