similar to: Tracking down ensure => running problem

I''m using 0.24 with Webrick (in the process of migrating to 0.25 / passenger). Occasionally, the puppetmasterd becomes unavailable, and we see error messages along the lines of: Could not call puppetmaster.getconfig: #<Errno::ECONNRESET: Connection reset by peer> I believe the puppetmasterd does not completely die, so it is still in the process list.

I hope I haven''t dug myself into a corner here... How can I make sure that /some/file.xml is created BEFORE the jboss-tfel0 service is started? I can''t use before => in the file{} in the jboss class because it doesn''t exist there. define create_jboss_inst($inst, $version, $naming_port) { .... service { "jboss-$inst": require

Hi, I am fairly new to using puppet, but have it setup on 25 machines. Just doing some basic configuration management. Recently I decided to try working with updating some services config files and used the ensure => running tags. My question is simple - if the source file does NOT change and I use a subscribe, why does the system keep restarting the daemon every time puppet runs? A simple

Dear community, I use puppet to deploy iptables on every server. This is working fine. In the manifest I defined an iptables service which leads to my init script. The thing is each time I run puppet I got : notice: /Stage[main]/Iptables/Service[netfilter]/ensure: ensure changed ''stopped'' to ''running'' I would like to add a status command to my startup script

I see the instructions for creating custom facter recipes here: http://projects.reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Adding_Facts and in this thread, James Turnbull suggests that Facter might some day support other languages besides ruby: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/8c127ae8898d3bcf/c5ca551b77c4eb67?lnk=gst&q=facter+perl#c5ca551b77c4eb67 He writes:

Hey everyone, I seem to be running into an error that I can''t find an answer for. I have a simple manifest that installs a few packages and then starts a few services.
