Hi all. I am testing 0.25.4 to upgrade from 0.23.2. In testing, I found two strange messages on 0.25.4 which I have never found on 0.24.3. So could you tell me what these messages mean and how to fix them. [Environment] Puppetmasterd -version : 0.25.4 -OS : Solaris10 10/09 Puppetd -version : same as Puppetmasterd -OS : same as Puppetmasterd [Strange messages] 1.When Puppetd

I restarted puppetmasterd and it announced that the Cert does not match existing key !

Hi, I''ve got some problems with setting up environments.

Hi Experts, I''m trying to generate my own certificates (all of them, including certs for CA, server and client) for puppet to use. and I''m getting "Could not run: Could not retrieve certificate for puppetsrv and not running on a valid certificate authority" Just wondering what the problem could be? What I did is: 1. generate a self signed CA cert, and save the

I made an attempt to switch to mongrel today and I''m running into a strange error message I can''t seem to track down: debug: puppetmaster: Setting servertype to ''mongrel'' Server is not a class Tracing through with the debugger shows: [snip] /foo/lib/gems/puppet-0.22.4/bin/puppetmasterd:248: case Puppet[:servertype] (rdb:1) n

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on getting puppet set up for our systems for the past week, and all has gone well in learning about writing manifests, but now that I’m ready to set it into production, I realize that it’s still unclear to me exactly how that’s supposed to go. For instance, during testing it has always been that I manually started and stopped puppetd and puppetmasterd on their

Hi, I''m currently trying to debug a performance issue I''m having. Therefore I would need "DEBUG" output. When using one puppetmaster process, this is fairly easy by starting it like this: > puppet master --no-daemonize --debug Now I need to see this debug output when running puppetmaster the way I ususally do - using Apache/Rack/Passenger. After looking

Hi, installing puppet at my first site was quite easy (not w/o problems, but still). At the second site, I''ve run into something more serious. First things first - I install puppetmaster on existing server, used to keep LDAP db (my puppetmaster DOES NOT use LDAP, it just tries to coexist on the same machine). The thing is, I need to puppet this baby, so I''m running into a

Hi i have the running i both sides, client and server sides the puppet 0.25.4 Get this error on server side: puppetmasterd[5363]: Report puppet_dashboard failed: wrong Content-Length format And receive this error on my client side: warning: Value of ''preferred_serialization_format'' (pson) is invalid for report, user default (b64_zlib_yaml) I am getting any reports on my

Hi, I have a Gentoo server running puppetmasterd from Puppet 0.24.1 and a Ubuntu server running puppetd from Puppet 0.23.2. I have added listen=true to the [puppetd] section on the client and run puppetd --debug. I then run puppetrun --debug --host hostname on the puppetmaster server. This is the output I get: Puppetmaster: # puppetrun --debug --host hostname Failed to load ruby LDAP library.

Guys, I seriously could not find this topic in the documentation. What do you do when you need to force puppetd hosts get the new settings from puppetmasterd? What I found was only sending USR1 signal to the client process in order to make it refresh its configuration from the master. But I find it a bit inconvenient for a large amount of hosts. There is also puppetrun which, if I understand

Hi: I''m trying to configure Puppet on Ubuntu, and strangely I am never able to generate a certificate because my server never shows any pending certificate requests. Put differently, on the server I am running puppetmasterd and on the client I am able to connect to the server, but the client continues printing notice: Did not receive certificate warning: peer certificate

Hi Guys, Im trying to turn on storeconfigs with a mysql db backend. On my testing server in our lab, i configured this successfully and can see if keeping information on all test hosts. When trying to implent the same idea onto our production puppet server, I get the following errors: Aug 26 16:35:53 opsynxsr0097 puppetmasterd[27003]: (/Settings[/etc/

May I please ask again for some assistance with the question below? I hope somebody can help me.

Hello All, I don''t seem to be able to get reports to display on the foreman interface. I copied extras/puppet/foreman/files/foreman-report.rb to / usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/reportsforeman.rb, instead of /usr/ lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/reports/foreman.rb. Config: Centos5.4, Apache/ Passenger, Puppet 0.25.4. The reports are coming from the clients, because I can see them in

So when puppetd crashes/whatever, and a pid file is left behind, SMF in Solaris will try restarting puppet, but fail. And then it sits there restarting it forever. I''m not sure if I can adjust the flap detection in SMF.. it isn''t disabling the service for "restarting too quickly" because it takes so long to start. Probably because I''m NFS-mounting ruby. The

So one of the behaviors that seems to wedge puppetmasterd is if you re-initialize a client, the example here being that I installed an older version of puppet on a bunch of machines to test out how things work: * at some point in the past install older rev of puppet - client regiesters itself with the server, etc. - works fine. * recently, remove the old puppet in favor of a new version that

hi, i''m trying to set up my puppetmaster infrastructure with multiple puppetservers behind load balancers in each of our datacenters. i''m using 0.24.6. i''ve read the howto on puppet scalability, and i think i''ve got the ssl config working correct, but i''m noticing that when puppetd is used to build a puppetmaster, some of the files in $vardir/ ssl

Hi, I''m just getting started with puppet, and using the RPMS provided (on CentOS 4.3), and RedHat''s killproc is annoying me again. The process is called ''ruby'' instead of ''puppetmasterd''. $ ps 7869 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 7869 ? Ss 0:00 ruby /usr/sbin/puppetmasterd [ etc ] So, service puppetmaster

Hi folks, When I enabled stored configs on my puppet master, it began keeping lots of open connections to the MySQL server (as far as I understand it opened one connection for each client run and never closed them). I set up the server to close idle connections after 5 minutes. Now the database server does close the connections but the puppet master keeps them in CLOSE_WAIT state and eventually
