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

Hi, I am using a template to create an /etc/exports file. I have a template that looks like this (but results in the puppetmasterd dying on the server when the client updates): <% nfsHomeClients.split.each do |host| -%> /nfs <%= host %>(<%= mainshareoptions %>) <% nfspaths.each do |path| -%> <%= path %> <%= host %>(<%= nfsoptions %>) <% end

We'd like to get new users to the information they need quickly and one thing new users want to know is if they can use Puppet for what they want to do. So far, we don't have a very extensive (or thorough) list of platforms and software solutions that our community is using with Puppet. To deal with this, I've drafted a short list of platforms under which Puppet is

Are exec resources triggered by notify events supposed to be run once for every event received or only run once per run irregardless of the number of resources that notified it? It seems to me that it gets run twice no matter how many resources triggered it. consider the following class: class dhcp { $prefix = "/usr/local/etc/dhcpd" $dhcpd_conf = "$prefix/dhcpd.conf"

Hi, We have dedicated puppet master boxes, which basically only run a mongrel/puppetmasterd (6 instances), an apache proxy for mongrel and puppetd. Recently puppetmasterds seemed to have leaked almost all of the RAM, and the thrashing made the box painfully slow. We restarted the puppetmasterd processes, and started collecting some statistics. Attached is a graph of memory usage on one of the

Hello, all. I am getting the following error on a couple of my puppet nodes when I run puppetd -v -o --no-daemonize --no-splay: err: Could not retrieve catalog: undefined method `-'' for #<XMLRPC::DateTime:0xb7c729e8> The error goes away if I add --ignorecache, but I''m not sure that''s quite the fix I''m hoping for. It will also go away if i remove my

Greetings all, My deployment of puppet includes a monitrc to make sure that puppetd stays up and running. It seems like (across all of my hosts) that pupeptd will end up dying and restarted by monit. I''m running puppetd under a screen session now on one particular host with --debug --verbose to see if any thing comes out on console but until it happens again, any anybody else

All, Once the puppet clients are installed, is there a option to list the client in the server. mind you I never meant the cert - signing list.. which would be puppetca --list.

I''m having problems with a definition not being found. I get the following error when running puppetd -vt: err: Could not find type "manual_apt_get_update" in file /etc/puppet/manifests/definitions/apt_misc.pp at line 22 The definition is present for sure. Can anyone spot a problem with the code below? define manual_apt_get_update { exec { "/usr/bin/apt-get

Hi, I have just successfully configured Puppet to run with Mongrel, and would like to update the documentation 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:

Hi, I''ve just changed my debian preseed configuration to install the debian unstable package of puppet v0.22.1. As part of the preseed I have a late command that clobbers the /etc/init.d/puppet file into using the puppet standalone program and not the puppetd (as this is what I''m using). Since the upgrade to 0.22.1 every boot hangs during the initd. Going into standalone mode

Hi, https://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/DocumentationStart https://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetIntroduction https://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetMasters https://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetBestPractice - Max

I see in the changelog that: You now must specify an environment and you are required to specify the valid environments for your site. (#911) Does this mean that the puppetmaster has to be updated before clients work correctly? I ask because I''m testing out a client upgrade to 0.24.0 (server is still 0.23.2) and this is what I''m seeing: [~]% sudo /foo/bin/puppetd

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

Hi, installing puppet at my first site was quite easy (not w/o problems, but still). At the second site, I''ve run into something more serious. First things first - I install puppetmaster on existing server, used to keep LDAP db (my puppetmaster DOES NOT use LDAP, it just tries to coexist on the same machine). The thing is, I need to puppet this baby, so I''m running into a

I''m trying to write a wrapper definition for the file type to make it a bit smarter. I have a basic version working fairly well: define xfile($owner = root, $group = root, $mode = 644, $source, $backup = main, $recurse = false, $ensure = file) { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup, recurse

Hello puppet users, I know this is not really a puppet thing but i wanted to know what tools do you use for server provisionning ? I have to build quite a lot of servers for a prject and i need to instal them. Of course puppet take care of the configuration but i wondered if some of you use things like FAI . It seems that i could use puppet to script FAI to install machines. What do you

on my puppet master server (v 2.7.17 , both server and client version) , the puppet agent can''t connect to itself. other clients connected to this puppet server are working fine. the hostname is puppet.domain.com [root@puppet /]# cat /etc/puppet/puppet.conf [main] # The Puppet log directory. # The default value is ''$vardir/log''. logdir = /var/log/puppet

Hi, As someone new to puppet I''m trying to work out the best way to manage different filesystems and logical volumes on different servers. Specifically I would like to be able to define on a series of nodes different LVM logical volumes to create and mount. I''m trying to do this at the moment with a define of the following type: # Manage a partition and create if needed.

Hi, I think this has been discussed previously on the list, so apologies if I''m covering old ground but I''ve been using puppet to manage a few Rails applications which have dependencies on quite a few gems, so it''s getting to be a bit of an onerous task to manage them. It looks like the command line interface to gems doesn''t really support automated
