Hi, I have a problem with puppetd/puppetmasterd, when I start any without "--no-daemonize" parameter they will crash.

I''m receiving a "warning: Could not get config; using cached copy" when running "puppetd --test" with the latest puppet and puppet-server RPMs from dlutter''s site. Has anyone else seen this problem or can give me an idea of where to start looking for the problem? James *********************************************************************************

Just curious as to the functionality of puppet. Does Puppet ensure that a service is up and running as long as puppet is running? Ie, I want to make sure ssh is always running, if for some reason ssh get''s shut down, does puppet start it back up when it does it''s config sync run? Thanks! --------------------------------- Pinpoint customers who are looking for

Hi, While puppet creates its own directories for internal stuff (puppetca, state, etc.), there''s a fair bit of latitude given to where things like manifests and uploaded files live. I didn''t get much guidance from the docs when I first set things up so I mostly poked at things until the worked. Take a look at the following and let me know if this looks reasonable; if so, it

Hi, [Note: I''ve been saving up my puppet questions for a free moment so pardon my bombardment of the list] What''s the best way to set up mounts and mountpoints with puppet? I am currently using something like: ---- class software_depot_client { # create NFS mountpoint file { "/mnt/nfs/repository": path => "/mnt/nfs/repository", ensure =>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I''m running the latest version of puppet (debian 0.22.4-2), and I''ve gotten to a point with my configuration where puppetmasterd needs to be restarted every few days due to what seem like file handles not getting closed. I either see this set of errors: May 22 08:08:34 localhost puppetd[2810]: Could not get config; using

I''ve just noticed that Puppet is failing to automatically apply changes when running as a Red Hat service. Changes get applied with no problems or errors when I run Puppet manually with "puppetd --test" but fail with a "Could not apply complete configuration: Parsed Providers must define a default target" error in /var/log/messages when the service runs automatically

Before I start working on it, I''d like to check if anyone is already using Puppet to manage their servers'' RHN subscriptions. We run a local RHN Proxy server and at the moment, I''m using Kickstart to: - Install Facter and Puppet - Install our organisations trusted RHN SSL certificate - Download and install our RHN configuration file - Import GPG keys - Run rhnreg_ks to

Is there a way of specifying the server on a different port? I want to be able to change between two different puppetmasterd''s on the same box, and I want to pick between them by using selecting the port. There seems to be lots of :port* symbols floating around, and a --port in puppetd, but it''s not looking consistent. Is this something on the TODO path, or is there a

Just wondering if anyone is using a backend database other than sqlite, and if so, how easy/hard it was to configure. I''m constantly receiving "SQLite3::BusyException: database is locked..." which I presume is due to sqlite''s relatively coarse locking method.

Subject basically says it all. Anyone have a good idea of how to get puppetd restarted after installing a updated puppet.conf? Using the Service types obviously doesn''t work since puppet is already running. Is there no, please reload your config on the next run option? I mean there is always some screwing with a cronjob to just restart puppet once and awhile but I dunno I was

Hi, is there a way to make sure a file is installed only if a certain package is installed on the client? e.g. I want to distribute the client key for NX via puppet. However I only want to install these files if package ''freenx'' is installed on the client. I tried adding ''require => package["freenx"]'' but then puppetd complains it

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

I have a cluster of 20 or so machines. On many of the nodes, the puppetd process take up a ton of resident memory (> 400MB RES in top, > 500GB VIRT in top) after running for a while (> 1 week). The only thread I found on this was titled "memory leak?" and last updated on 06-Dec-2007. The question on that tread was whether or not the memory was buffered memory. I

Hi, I have a Gentoo server running puppetmasterd from Puppet 0.24.1 and a Ubuntu server running puppetd from Puppet 0.23.2. I have added listen=true to the [puppetd] section on the client and run puppetd --debug. I then run puppetrun --debug --host hostname on the puppetmaster server. This is the output I get: Puppetmaster: # puppetrun --debug --host hostname Failed to load ruby LDAP library.

I apologized ahead of time if this post shouldn''t go here but I having been knocking my heading for the last two days trying to get over the following error while trying to "clone" my primary puppetmasterd because we have outgrown one puppetmasterd setup. I have basically set up a 2nd instance of our primary puppetmasterd and rsync''ed over /var/lib/puppet/ssl/ from the
