Hi- Recently starting using puppet while migrating an existing messy group of systems to some nice new hardware. Things are going incredibly well, and puppet''s functioning great. Have a bit of a headache. I''d like to keep myself from duplicating lots of included classes. Lets say I have this (snippet of a) class: class dbserver { file { "/etc/my_${db}.cnf":

After upgrading my puppetmaster server to 0.22.2 using David''s src RPM''s for RHEL4 rebuilt for x86_64 i am getting the following error when puppetd attempts a configuration run. Mon Mar 26 10:05:43 EST 2007 Puppet (err): Could not run Puppet::[1]Network::Client::Master: Invalid value ''nil'' for noop When puppetd is started the initial run is

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.

I''m running Ubuntu Edgy and have 0.22.1 installed from source. I''m running puppetmaster on the box. When I run "puppetd -v -o" on the same machine, I get the error in the file I''ve attached. I was running 0.20.1 just fine from .debs and then updated to 0.22.1 source. Is there any way to cleanly uninstall puppet so I can start over? Any advice as to what is

This has been a much-requested feature, and is now a reality (in svn trunk): There is a new option, --ignoreimport, that will (surprisingly) ignore import statements. This is really only useful when using -- parseonly in a commit hook, and note that you''ll have to add the option to --parseonly, none of the puppet executables will add it for you. You should be able to

Hey All, I can see in the type reference under service it has restart, stop, start etc. But is there a way to issue a /etc/init.d/daemon reload ? but still have the restart available if needed Cheers Brendan Brendan Beveridge Managed Services Consultant Direct | 02 8235 9593 Mobile | 0434 077 934 Email | Brendan.Beveridge@brennanit.com.au "Brennan IT lands major IT&T

Hello, I have been attempting to do the following: file { "/home/test/test.txt": owner => test, group => test, checksum => md5, source => "puppet://puppet/files/test.txt" } At first, this appeared to work, but now I realize that when the file is copied from the server, the permissions are not applied until the next puppet run. Does puppet not apply the

Hello, I am currently experiencing a bit of a quandry with how to specify default configuration applications to generic nodes. Here is an example setup: Classes: Class A Class B inherits Class A Class C inherits Class B Problem: I have unique hosts (nodes) X and Y and a bunch of other standard hosts. I would like X and Y to be able to override attributes in Class C (thus inherit class C) but

Hi all, Peter Abrahamsen has duplicated all of the documentation and cookbook pages in Puppet''s Trac page: https://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/DocumentationStart Please let me or Peter know if there are any problems. -- A motion to adjourn is always in order. --Robert Heinlein --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke

Hello, I have been perusing the documentation looking for the default list of variables that puppet defines such as $operatingsystem. For instance, how is $host translated; <host>.<domain>, or just <host> and where can I find this information.

Hello, I am attempting to reload both nfs and nfslock when changing my exports configuration file. Unfortunately, I am unable to discern the correct syntax for making a single object subscribe to multiple objects. I have tried: => [nfs nfslock] => [nfs, nfslock] => [[nfs],[nfslock]] => [[nfs] [nfslock]] and none of them seem to work. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank

Hi, I''ve just started using puppet and I have a couple of questions about the SSL capabilities. 1) Can I use my own certs or do I have to use the ones provided by puppetmaster? 2) How can I set the "Not Before" time to be now instead of a few hours from now? Thanks! ____________________________________________________________________________________ It''s here!

I believe this has already been discussed[1], but I''d like to add a bit more to that original discussion and see if anyone has any suggestions. Here''s what I''m trying to do: we have a set of very thorough "wipe" scripts that run every night on our workstations. I''d like to stash these into a class so that I can include them as a group: class wiped

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

What with the impending release and a now fixed bug nagging me, I''m testing puppet [2556] from subversion. There have been changes in packages, I used to have Package { provider => "aptitude", } in my default.pp, but that doesn''t work anymore, and changing package to type or removing the declaration doesn''t help. How do package providers work now?

This was a fun one to track down... I was trying to use the append_if_no_such_line script from the wiki and it was working fine EXCEPT when I threw a notify at it. The notify appears to completely ignore both unless and onlyif within the exec for some reason. If I put the same test in the actual command line, it works fine. Example: unless => "/bin/grep -Fqe ''$line''

Hello folks, I''ve blended/updated the Glossary of Terms (<http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/GlossaryOfTerms>). It seems the definition of "manifests" is a bit different amongst members. Some people consider a "manifest" to be a configuration file written in puppet, e.g. any .pp file. But at my organization, we''ve considered the totality

I''m not sure if this has been posted previously, but I couldn''t find any information on it. I added a cron job via the cron type and it installed properly. Next, I removed the cron type from the manifest. The result was that, while the entry was no longer in the yaml file, the cron entry was not removed! Is this a bug, or the way that it is supposed to function? Thank you,
