Hi, I''m exploring Puppet and have hit a rather weird problem. The puppetmaster server is running CentOS4, fully updated, with puppet installed from the dlutter RPM repo, version 0.20.0-1.el4. I tried adding the remotefile function definition from http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/documentation/installation.html in /etc/puppet/manifests/utils/remotefile.pp but when I start

What is the right way to write definition so that defaults can be overriden? $puppetdir = "puppet://$server/files" define remotefile($source, $owner = "root", $group = "root", $mode = 0644, $backup = false, $recurse = false) { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup,

I tried using $name in this manner: remotefile { "/etc/auto_direct.local": mode => 644, source => "solall/$name" } (The remotefile function is handy, BTW) When I use $name here, instead of specifying the actual path to the file (solall/etc/auto_direct.local), puppetd ends up making /etc/auto_direct.local an empty directory. Shouldn''t $name

"Service and class definitions are scoped just as variable assignments are." But what about types? Here''s an example: class solserver inherits server { remotefile { "/etc/shadow": mode => 400, group => staff, source => "solall/etc/shadow.server" } Is it possible to just override the "/etc/shadow" definition for

Hi, I had a working puppet setup using version 0.22 until the ruby security patch bit me. I tried upgrading server and clients to 0.24.1 however my old manifests don''t seem to work anymore. When I run puppetd on the client I see lots of messages like: err: //Node[waterbuck]/yumupdater/Remotefile[/etc/cron.hourly/yumupdater]/File[/etc/cron.hourly/yumupdater]/ensure: change from absent

Hi, I''m trying to use several sources to pick from in a remotefile statement: remotefile { "/etc/sudoers": mode => 0440, source => [ "config/apps/sudo/sudoers.${host}", "config/apps/sudo/sudoers" ], sourceselect => first } But it doesn''t seem to work. I get an error like this: "File source

Howdy, Found out about this project while looking for via ONLamp''s FreeBSD build system article. After finding cfengine a tad arcane, this project seems like a good fit for my setup. I''m still at the tinkering phase, but I envision this thing bootstrapping and maintaining several FreeBSD installs which have different CPU''s and packages. The Good News:

Has the component/type defaults syntax changed for 0.22.x? I have a component: <snip> define remotefile($owner=root, $group=root, $mode, $source, $backup=false, $recurse=false, $groupname="default") { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup,

Hi, I just upgraded to puppet 0.20.0 today after a short time playing with 0.19.3. The docs say to use the uppercase form for types but that seems to break for me. When I updated the remotefile function to use the new way, the puppet clients complain about objects not being found. For example: ----- OLD WAY (works, just with deprecations) ----- define remotefile (...) { file { $name :

I am trying to write a definition that downloads and extracts a tar file if the destination directory does not exist. The tar file won''t change and does not need to be download and extracted if it changes. The definition I am using now is: define remote_tar($source, $directory) { remotefile { "/tmp/$name.tgz": source => $source, } exec {

Hi, I bumped into the following this afternoon (on a 2.7.19 puppet master/agent combo): consider a class profile::tomcat in module profile with the following content: $ cat modules/profile/manifests/tomcat.pp class profile::tomcat { class { ''tomcat'': } notice(''Class profile::tomcat in module profile'') } and $ cat modules/tomcat/manifests/init.pp

Hello List, We are using puppet to manage a growing number of Debian Etch based servers (currently 70). Since upgrading to 0.22.4 we encountered a problem when services do not restarted on puppets request. For example the Nagios remote plugin executor daemon (nrpe). It''s running daemonized and its confiugration is located in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg. This file is managed through puppet

I have a new instllation of tomcat on centos. My $CATALINA_HOME is /usr/share/tomcat5 and tomcat is running. http://localhost:8080 brings up the tomcat page & one of the option is "Administration". I would like to use this web interface and even give some of the test webapp users ability to restart tomcat. According to the home page, users are defined in

I use OpenNMS and this is how I install it. So far it's worked every time (6 installs). Make sure you open up your IPTables as needed.

There was a discussion a while ago about adding inheritance to definitions. There is a need for a way to specialize parameters while allowing passing other options. This comes up with remotefile where it would be nice to have a default server location but not specify all the parameters (and their defaults) in the definition. Was there a change to the syntax? Is there a way to accomplish this?

Hi, I''m banging my head against the usage of variables i defines. Fx. I have this defined to easily create new systemusers: define systemuser($home = $home, $shell = "/bin/bash") { group { $name: ensure => present } user { $name: ensure => present, gid => $name, home => $home, shell =>

I installed tomcat 5.23 from the yum install of centos5.3 and have started tomcat on port 8080 . The http://hostname:8080 shows a blank page. In a standard Tomcat distribution, the default application is located in the ROOT directory /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps: From centos installation, this directory is empty.

I am having SSL difficulties setting up a new puppet client: Client: fedora (rawhide) using 0.23.2 Server: centos 4.4 using 0.22.3 After initiating contact with puppetd --test --server=puppet.myclient.com, I see the CSR on the server. After signing it, and running puppet again, I get the signed certificate, but also see: err: Could not retrieve configuration: Certificates were not trusted:

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

I''ve gotten an install of solr working, but it''s pretty much a hack job at the moment. If y''all could give me your thoughts on how to improve my setup, I''d appreciate it. apache-tomcat is an rpm of Tomcat 7 that references the oracle jdk instead of openjdk. Thanks. class solr { service { ''iptables'' : ensure =>
