Hi i''m trying to pass Resources (single or in an array) to a resource, so I can pass this to a notify or require. However I have some problems, when no resource should be passed. Maybe somebody can help me? thanks define gentoo::etcconfd ( $require = '''', $notify = '''' ){ file { "/etc/conf.d/${name}": owner =>

What''s the correct yum repo to use for installing Puppet & Facter on RHEL5 and Centos5? I used to get them from the dlutter-rhel5 repo but this seems to be massively out of date now - latest version of puppet-server in there is 0.24.5-1.el5 and facter 1.5.4-1.el5. In Epel I see puppet-server 0.24.8-1.el5.1 and facter 1.5.4-1.el5 which is better but isn''t 1.5.4 the version

I recently tidied up a class/definition combo that sets /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net. This failed: define issuefile($path) { file { issue: owner => root, group => root, mode => 0644, content => template("issue_conf") } } class issue { issuefile { "issue": path => "/etc/issue" } } class

The language docs have been languishing for ages, so out of disgust I consolidated the LanguageStructures and LanguageTutorial pages into a new, rewritten LanguageTutorial[1] page. Let''s consider this page the single page for all language explanation, and let''s do what we can to enhance and correct this page over time. I think the existence of two pages confused

Good day, First off, I''m a complete puppet newbie, this openvpn recipe is pretty much the first puppet work I''ve done so be gentle :-) Secondly, the openvpn setup for Debian (and systems based on Debian) allows each openvpn network (tunnel) to be specified using a separate config file for each: /etc/openvpn/<vpn>.conf Each tunnel can be then stopped/started/restarted

Hi People, Let''s imagine a scenario where I have multiple nodes, a very simple hierarchy: - nodes/%{fqdn} - roles/%{role} - common So what I am trying to achieve is for instance a class ''foo'' is always included in ''common.yaml'' and all the nodes will have that class included by default, but I want a specific node to have that class excluded or

Let''s start with this: class whatever ( $myType=''other'' ) { file { "some-config-file": ... content => $myType ? { ''this'' => template("whatever/this.erb"), ''that'' => template("whatever/that.erb"), ''other'' =>

Hi folks, when I try to do something like: define railsproject($name, $uid, $gid, $userpass, $sqlpass) { mysql_database { "$name_staging": ensure => present } mysql_database { "$name_production": ensure => present} ....more stuff... } I get: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Duplicate definition: Mysql_database[] is already

Hi everyone. Mandatory disclaimer: New to puppet/clueless but learning/please don''t get fed up with me yet... Mandatory praise: Love puppet so far... Mandatory stupid first question: How do I concatenate a variable to an arbitrary string? ie. $someval="$hostname_prod_config" So if $hostname is "myserver", then $someval should result in

I just upgraded from 0.23.2-1 on RHEL 4&5 to 0.24.1-1. I used Dlutter''s repository. What a mess I''m in now. Anyway to make a long story short I moved all of the old configs out of the way (/etc/puppet, /var/lib/puppet) and started over with a fresh install. I can''t get puppetd on the server to request a cert. If I do a "puppetd -v --waitforcert 90" the

I''m almost afraid to ask because this probably sticks out like a sore thumb on the wiki somewhere, and I''m just not seeing it. But I have a bunch of files with the same owner/mode. Is there a way to somehow collapse these, so that all I repeat is the file name? Example: file { "/opt/test/1": owner => "jtan", group =>

Hello, I''m trying to do this: service { monit: ensure => running, enable => true, hasrestart => true, if ($operatingsystem == ''centos'') { hasstatus => true, }, require => Package[''monit''], subscribe => File[''monit.conf''], } And it doesn''t work in

Hello, I have a file which varies depending on which OS/version it''s running. I tried to make a nested source parameter like this, but it didn''t work: source => $operatingsystem ? { Debian => "puppet://myserver.com/files/os/debian/etc/ssh/sshd_config", Gentoo => "puppet://myserver.com/files/os/gentoo/etc/ssh/sshd_config", RedHat =>

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 *********************************************************************************

I''ve been hacking at puppet for the past week or two, and came up with some great stuff, but I''m wondering if there''s a way to tie it all together To create a virtual machine for our company''s QA environment, I''m currently doing 3 things: #create a vm node vmsvr2 inherits default { include vmserver vmserver::vm {

Hi, I was managing a bunch of Centos 4.5 with Puppet until the ruby security patch bit me creating ssl problems. As I''m not able/willing to patch the installed version I tried upgrading to dlutter''s 0.24.0-2.el5 version. Unfortunately this didn''t help much. So I removed the server and client installation completely (making sure to manually remove the config, ssl, ...

I have a client I''m testing where the puppetd process grows slowly (over a few days) to the point where it exceeds 100MB. This triggers an alert and we restart the daemon, but I''m curious whether anyone has noticed similar behavior. Details are: Server: CentOS 4.5 x86 (on VMWare Server guest) RPM install from dlutter repo (puppet-0.23.2-1.el4) The only thing I can

I''m getting the following error when trying to run puppetd on the server. I''m using version 0.23.2 from the dlutter repo. The OS is RHEL 5. Any idea what this is? I see reference to namespaceauth.conf regarding this problem but I can''t find anything definitive. [puppet]# puppetd -v -o err: Could not call puppetmaster.freshness: #<RuntimeError: HTTP-Error: 500

After some through I have decided that I don''t want to keep all my configuration variables in LDAP; too many variables and the variables are too specific to manage efficiently. What I want to keep in ldap are some general class definitions, like samba-bdc, and samba-dev-shares, etc. So I build a manifest like the one below; but there are a few problems. First, I can''t be sure

I just built new puppet rpm''s for Fedora (puppet-0.22.1-2) that fix the lockdir problem that many of you have encountered. The packages should show up on a mirror near you very soon. Unfortunately, I am having trouble getting to my buildsystem that I use for the RHEL versions of the RPM; I made the source rpm available on my people page[1] If you need the RPM for RHEL, you need to
