similar to: Graceful recovery on bad config

Hi all, I''m having trouble with a particular recipe, but I don''t know which one! I''m not getting an error message, puppetd simply hangs (does not respond, needs a kill -9 to stop). These same recipes work correctly on other nodes (no problems there). Now I wanted to find the exact line that causes the problem, but I seem to be unable to make puppetd log the resource

it seems that puppet refuse to run in the new version. It fails on the line: err: Could not apply complete configuration: Unknown configuration parameter :lockdir the client is .22.1 and server still .22.0 -- Cordialement, Ghislain _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list Puppet-users@madstop.com https://mail.madstop.com/mailman/listinfo/puppet-users

I turned on reporting the other day and I''m seeing alot of these when puppet runs. Especially during times when nothing is going on (middle of the night etc) Tue Dec 11 12:34:48 -0500 2007 //base/puppet/puppet::client/Service[puppet]/ensure (notice): ensure changed ''stopped'' to ''running'' It''s also quite odd that puppet when it runs it thinks

I''m in the process of documenting templates right now, and I figured I should see what happens when you use them with arrays: $ cat ~/bin/test.pp $values = [this, is, an, array, of, values] $content = template("/tmp/templates/testing.erb") file { "/tmp/temtest": content => $content } $ cat /tmp/templates/testing.erb <% values.each do |val| %> I got

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

I have a situation where I''d like to perform some actions when a node is removed from a class. I have a few (homegrown) services that install ssh keys in authorized_keys and it''s possible that a node may have the service enabled and disabled during it''s lifetime. When disabled I''d like to clean up the ssh keys for security reasons. This brings up the broader

Hi Luke and other people working on 0.24. I hope this is constructive. So, I have our configuration working against a checkout from git as of last night. Subject to (sorry, here''s the big but :) * external_nodes script is not being called (#951) * Custom types aren''t working unless I drop them into $rubysitedir/puppet/{type,provider}. Previously they worked in

Hello all, what exactly is the "design decision" that is needed here? We currently have the problem that 0.23.2-3 (debian package) does not work when it comes to collecting exported resources. The resources are saved in the database, so picking them up is the problem (db is Mysql5.x). This is a major problem for us, since we are using this a lot for our monitoring services. I

So I am beginning the long process of learning puppet... and it seems that I am missing some vital things. My systems are RHEL-4, and i have installed the puppet/facter/puppetmasterd from dlutter@redhat.com''s archive. [root@canopus puppet]# rpm -qa | egrep ''puppet|facter'' | sort facter-1.3.6-1.el4 puppet-0.22.2-1.el4 puppet-server-0.22.2-1.el4 on the client I

Hello All, I''m using the "Branch Testing" approach documented at https://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/BranchTesting and am seeing an issue with certificates. On all clients, I can run puppetd --masterport=8141 successfully but see the following error when I run against the default (8140) port: err: Could not retrieve configuration: Certificates were not trusted:

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

Hello, I just attempted to remove both the ypbind and the yp-tools packages using the package parameter with yum. As it turns out, both of these packages depend on each other. Is there a way of forcing package removal and, if there is not, is there a way of making all packages to be removed be collapsed into the same yum command? Either of these solutions would solve the problem with the

Hello, I''ve recently begun looking at Puppet as an alternative to Cfengine and I have a couple of questions. 1) Besides the information posted on the Puppet website, are there any critical differences between Puppet and Cfengine? 2) Does Puppet allow for client-specific file text manipulation. For instance, in Cfengine I can add a line of text to a file if the line doesn''t

hi,all. I found a interesting problem. first ,a new node run the puppetd to connect the puppet server, then was treated as "default" node. that''s right. Then I add the new node''s hostname in a node define. and run the puppetd ,is still get the default manifests file. But when I restart the pupppuetmaster, then it can get the new manifests file to correspond

I''m not sure if this is the way things are supposed to happen but, when I specify a directory with recursion and md5 checksums, the directory itself is checksummed and assumed to have changed. Of course, if anything in the directory changed, the directory checksum will change. What I would like to do is to manipulate all of the files in a directory, but ignore the directory itself.

Does anyone know if it''s possible to do the following: Given the directory structure: /foo/bar /foo/bar/<bunch of stuff> Is it possible to set /foo/bar to, say 555, and all stuff below to 440 or the directory equivalent? Thanks, Trevor

I''m having a bit of trouble understanding what to do with the ''type'' attribute of ''file''. I would like to perform different operations on directories vs. files under the same structure, can ''type'' be used for this? Are there any other examples of doing this kind of thing? Thanks, Trevor

We haven''t been able to use mongrel for testing yet, but in order not to waste time, we did some performance testing with 1, 2 and 4 puppetmasterd/webrick processes. Attached is an HTML page (ripped from our wiki - not pretty, but reasonably readable) which describes the method and results. If someone feels like making some nice graphs, that would be great. If not, I''ll try to

Ok, given the statement on the web page about unlesssystemuser under Resources ( http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/documentation/typedocs.html#resources), I assume that users can be purged. However, when I attempt to do this with resources { user: purge => true, noop => true } and what I get is: err: Found a bug: private method ''split'' called for nil:NilClass.
