Is is possible to have a puppetmaster that is a client of a different puppetmaster? We manage our customers'' server via puppet, but one customer has a puppetmaster server which looks after their internal systems. We''ve tried the following in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf ("customer" and "us" replacing the domain names) on their puppetmaster: [puppetmasterd]

Hi, I''m getting this message "Could not request certificate: No route to host - connect(2)" when I''m trying to connect my pclient to pmaster. I checked my hostnames for both the pclient and the pmaster: [root@pclient etc]# hostname -f pclient.domain [root@pmaster etc]# hostname -f pmaster.domain I tried requesting for certificate: [root@pclient etc]# puppetd --server

Hi all, I have experience using puppet, however I am new to setting puppet up as it was already done for me in past environments. I am running into an issue while trying to set puppet up for the first time on RHEL 6.4. I was hoping y''all might be able to help me! I get the following error from the puppet client''s /var/log/messages log: May 30 07:06:30 pclient

I''m trying to setup a puppetmaster, and I''ve got a couple of questions. The first, is a design question. Since I expect to eventually have multiple puppetmaster servers, I''d like to name this one to be named puppet1.example.com. But I''d like my clients to connect via a cname as puppet.example.com. Is this pretty standard? Is there some more common way?

So far we have a similar situation, for each different server one fabric and one puppet file, where the fabric file simply applies it in a brutal way. with settings(user=''root''): put(''qa.pp'', ''qa.pp'') put(''puppet apply qa.pp'') And puppet files don''t use anything like classes or modules, but

Is there an equivalent to cfrun in puppet. On the cfengine master you can do the command cfrun <hostname> which allows you to tell the cfengine client to run. This is useful for immediately pushing changes out immediately (or telling the client to pull). Chris

Hi, I have a template file which I would like to append to an existing file (in this case I wish to add a few lines to /etc/motd). Unless I''ve missed it, it does not appear that file has an append option.

Hey Guys, So i have puppetmaster running and well. I have a few questions 1) Even though i followed instructions on http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Using_Mongrel on using Mongrel, puppetmaster is probably still using webrick since the client connection timeout still occurs. How do i make it use mongrel? 2) Now after messing a little with /etc/sysconfig/puppetmaster i increased

Hello I am thinking that it is better to do a cvs export of a project once, on the puppetmaster box, rather than do the same cvs export on all puppet clients, yes? If so, how does one do this? Do you run puppetd on the same box as puppetmasterd and set up the cvs export as an exec for only the node with the same hostname as the puppetmaster? Thanks Jesse Jesse Reynolds Virtual

Anybody else experience the need to restart puppetmasterd before a node can register itself. I''ve been cleaning up my installation here on client nodes and every once and a while I find myself needing to restart the puppetmaster daemon. A client node attempts to connect and never does. A restart fixes things. There doesn''t seem to be anything useful in the error messages

Hi, I just wanted to check a few things. I have a build server which is used to run the CI server. It also doubles up as my puppetmaster. Would it be possible to have a puppet client talk to a puppetmaster on the same machine? Cheers, Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

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''m unable to get a response from the puppetmaster I''m testing with. `netstat -apn` shows puppetmaster/ruby listening on port 8140, but telnet connections are refused both from a different location and from the commandline on the master server. I''ve restarted a number of times but I''m still getting nothing, and AFAICT there aren''t any conflicting

Hello, i have a couple of VLAN where each has its own subnet, now I would like to use one puppetserver for all these machines. the puppetserver has a DNS entry for each subnet and its own IP-Address VLAN 1: puppet-vm1.domain1 172.1.0.1/255.255.255.0 VLAN 2: puppet-vm1.domain2 172.1.1.1/255.255.255.0 ..... the hostname of the puppetserver is puppet-vm1.domain0, puppet created a

Hello... I started testing puppet 0.25.x on my puppetmaster (RH 5.4 x64_64). I first tried 0.25.1 from EPEL testing, then 0.25.2rc1. I am using apache/mongrel with 10 ports. My puppetmaster configs are in /srv/puppet not /var/puppet. When starting puppetmaster I get the following errors: Port: 18140Could not prepare for execution: Got 1 failure(s) while initializing: change from directory

OK, I''m a total noob to puppet, so please forgive any stupid mistakes. I''m trying to get a test setup working to evaluate it as a replacement for radmind. I played with it a bit earlier in the summer, but got busy with other project, and I''m just now getting back to it. I had a working setup then, but since I''ve upgraded to 0.24.5 and Facter 1.4.1

My setup is as follows: I am running Vmware Server on Ubuntu Feisty. This is the puppetmaster. I am running a guest of Ubuntu Gutsy. This is the puppet. When I try to run puppetd on the guest I get the expected message "notice: Did not recieve certificate" Going back to the server and running "puppetca --list" does not list any requests. As a hunch I telneted the hosts

What is involved in switching to a new puppetmaster? I''m guessing the client will need a new cert, but it looks like I have to rm the old one in /var/lib/puppet/... on the client. Our "puppet" FQDN is an alias pointing to the current server, as it probably will be on the future server. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you
