I posted this earlier on IRC, but it didn''t seem anyone was active: <mozillaman>Hey all! <mozillaman>Quick question for you :) <mozillaman>I installed puppet according to the directions on the site and got this: sudo /usr/bin/puppetmasterd --nonodes undefined method `retrieve'' for nil:NilClass <mozillaman>Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be

I constantly get told I should just create a DSL in Ruby, instead of having a separate, custom language. This has, unsurprisingly, come up multiple times here at OSCON. So, I decided I''d see if I could hack something up and see how it looked. This is the first thing I could come up with in terms of the basic functionality: #!/usr/bin/ruby class Base file "/etc/passwd",

Hello, I want a simple operation in a puppet node like restarting the ssh service if it was stopped. My site.pp is simple as this: import "services/*" node default { include ssh } The services directory as a ssh.pp : class ssh { service { ssh: ensure => running, subscribe => File["/etc/ssh/sshd_config"] } } I''ve stopped the ssh service in the

So, looks like the latest facter has fqdn... cool. but for some reason templates can''t access it. I was defining $fqdn in my site.pp, but had to remove it after the last yum update, which brought in a new facter package. But now my templates can use fqdn. Why would this happen? --jason

Hello folks, At Stanford, we use modules to define every possible service, package, feature in the traditional sense (apache, ntp, iptables, etc). Then, for clients (such as other departments) and "services" (such as our mailman infrastructure, our ldap infrastructure, etc), we use manifests in /master/manifests and distributable files in /dist/ and templates in /master/templates.

Hello >From my understanding, modules are not autosearched. So, if I have: include ssh ... then puppet will look for a module names ssh and class named ssh defined in /modules/ssh/init.pp Moreover, if I have: include ssh::global ... then Puppet will for class global defined in /modules/ssh/init.pp or /modules/ssh/global.ss. Is that correct? Or am I leaving out some imports

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

Hi, I''m not using puppet in a standard way (ie. in a server/client configuration), just the standalone ''puppet --use-nodes'' command. I''m having problems with the directory structure of modules and using the import feature. My directory infrastructure looks like this: /srv/puppet/facter/... /srv/puppet/manifests/site.pp /srv/puppet/manifests/libs/file.pp

Hi, I was talking to Luke today about managing manifests and related files, and he suggested that I post to the list.. What would be nice (and what I''ve use in in-house systems I''ve used previously) is to have a way to dynamically include manifest fragments at runtime. Lets assume that you''re setting up bugzilla using puppet. In the ''main'' manifest

Hi, everyone -- I downloaded puppet and have been playing with it. I''m using the RPM''s for RHE4 created by David (mentioned on the install page: http://people.redhat.com/dlutter/yum/rhel4/) with RHE''s ruby 1.8.1-7: ruby-1.8.1-7.EL4.8 ruby-libs-1.8.1-7.EL4.8 ruby-devel-1.8.1-7.EL4.8 I''m sure this is an easy one; all the same, I''m stumped. Please

Hi All, I asked on IRC but didn''t have everything organized and most people seemed busy. Hoping someone can see what I''m missing here. I''m trying to create a network module, used similar to the ''users'' configuration described in the Best Practices document. I have a users module which has that and it works with similar syntax to below. If I

Hi All, By working on our bootstrap puppet scripts (executed wih standalone puppet), I found a difference between pipe and file parsing : A simple file with a content : $ cat withdollar.pp file { "/tmp/withdoller.txt": content => ''something like echo $1'' } When puppet parses the file : $ puppet withdollar.pp notice:

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

Hello, I just installed the latest version of puppet and puppetmaster on an up to date RHEL4 system. If I turn on ''storeconfigs'' on the puppetmaster server I get the following error: debug: Calling puppetmaster.getconfigerr: Could not retrieve configuration: Uncaught exception No such file to load -- sqlite3 in method puppetmaster.getconfig I have gems and rails installed

I''m trying to try out puppet and can''t seem to get to square one. I''ve been using cfengine for years and have just upgraded about 80 Debian machines to etch and wanted to try puppet. So, I have two Debian ''etch'' machines one a server and the other a client. I''m running puppet 0.23.2 installed from the unstable packages. As a first step

Hello, still upgrading to .20.1 and i have another issue that puppet does not regonize anymore my definitions, i use some ensure lines definition in a function.pp file and since then i am unable to make it work. puppetmasterd tells me this: Unknown function sudoensure_line in file /etc/puppet/manifests/./classes/backup.pp the import of the function is my 2 line of the site.pp and i

Hello, I am rather new to Puppet and am starting to test it out for use on a client''s servers. I am running into difficulty with node behavior. I want to specify a different firewall for every server. The default "basenode" works (applies the various files/functions/etc to all the servers just fine). However, when I specify the following (see nodes.pp, specifically),

I know this comes up periodically, and I''ve read through the wiki (including the Best Practices page) & list archives, but still can''t quite get my head around it. I see lots of references to /modules and $MODULE_PATH, but am not sure what these refer to. Here''s a basic setup I have. Let me know if this looks correct: /etc/puppet/ |-- autosign.conf |--

I just upgraded to 0.22.0 from 0.18.4 and I''m running into what I think are problems due to changes in scope rules. In my site.pp manifest, I have the following: import "classes/*" node nfsserver { include nfsserver } node webserver { include webserver } class cluster1_sites { website { "example.com": ...; "example2.com": ...; } } node

Hi Puppet-Team, first thanks for this great configuration management tool ! My name is Matt and i am on creating a puppet plugin for openQRM. The basic framework is already existing and working well so far. Now, after having it working ok once i now ran into a problem that my puppet-clients do not get their configuration any more from the puppetmasterd. What i saw on the puppetmasterd logs is :
