Hello I am new to Puppet and am having a hard time relating modules and classes in configuration files to actual operating system files. For instance I saw the following example on this list: node ''somenode'' { include puppetmaster } class puppetmaster { include common include puppet include ldap_auth include iptables::disabled include httpd::ssl include

Hi, I try to serve a file file { "/root/test3.txt": ensure => file, source => "puppet:///yum/test.txt", } On the puppetmaster this files look like this #$ ls -n test.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 502 301 4 8 Nov 16:25 test.txt Finally, here is my question: What ownership may I expect on the resulting file ? Actually this is the result for me: #$ ls -l

Hi, My organization is going to set up puppet soon. We have thousands servers and desktops. Would WEBrick work well for this? Or should we use Passenger?

Dear experts, Since I''ve moved my *puppetmaster* form SL5 (Scientific Linux) to SL6 with SELinux on, I''m facing loads of trouble. I also move away from WEBrick to apache/passenger, following the instruction here: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Using_Passenger > and I can''t start httpd any more. It fails with this: Starting httpd: (98)Address

I''ve been looking around for instructions on installing puppetmaster with a standalone passenger, without apache. I''m a personal believer in, "the fewer layers, the better" :) Unfortunately, I cant find any instructions for this configuration. Everything seems to be written for "puppet AND httpd and passenger". Could anyone point me to instructions sans

Hi all, I''m currently getting a lot of update failures showing up with no logs in the dashboard. This happens for about half of our 28 nodes, about once an hour. When re-run half an hour later, everything seems fine. Through a combination of server restarts and our Puppet master locking up entirely yesterday, almost all of our nodes are now trying to do their half hourly update at

My understanding was that at the beginning of each run the puppetmaster imports all modules so that any includes at the top level are applied directly. However, I am not so sure anymore. I''ve been tracing how this works and it seems like modules are included more lazily. In other words, when able_to_import is called seems like when the magic happens, rather than up front when the run

I''m working on configuring a master in a lab environment, using Puppet Open Source. My master is running RHEL 6. I want to use modules to manage the master itself as much as possible, so I can use puppet to bootstrap itself as I go forward and move into production. Using puppetlabs/puppetdb to configure puppetdb, I''ve overcome most of my issues but I have two questions. 1)

I''ve been messing around with Puppet on a VM on my personal desktop. It looks descent. I was wondering what kind of load this thing would have managing about 400 nodes. Does this thing require a beefy server? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hey guys, Does anyone know how to change the location of puppet.conf? In my situation, I don''t want to store it under /etc/puppet/puppet.conf or ~/.puppet/puppet.conf -- I''d like to store it under /opt/puppet/puppet.conf in this example. Is there a method without having to symlink, perhaps with an environment variable like PUPPET_CONF=.... ? Thanks for your time, Jason --

Greetings, I have a tested, working setup of Puppet and Webrick. I can add nodes, classes, etc. Then I switched to Puppet/Passenger and get the error below. Puppet, Apache and Passenger are all up. I have installed using *YUM *repos and *GEMs*. So, I have the most updated packages they have. Puppet version: 2.7.19 Ruby version: 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352 i386) Apache: 2.2.15 The error

Hi, I''m currently trying to get my puppetmaster work in passenger, but have not succeeded so far. Passenger itself seems to work (a small "hello world" app runs fine), but when I point a puppet client (0.24.8) to it, I get: info: Retrieving plugins err: Could not call fileserver.list: #<RuntimeError: HTTP-Error: 500 Internal Server Error> err:

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, My puppetmaster is running through apache, and now I am setting up dashboard to be run by apache too. I followed docs in http://docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/manual/1.2/bootstrapping.html#starting-and-managing-delayed-job-workers, but after I restarted httpd, I see a apache welcome page. I set documentroot to be: DocumentRoot /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/public/

Hi, I have puppet 3.0.1 installed with passenger and the clients are unables to request a certificate.

I am working on setting up a Puppet configuration where some of the data is stored on a DRBD volume. The modules and vardir are stored on the drbd volume. The puppet.conf files point to the drbd volume for vardir. I created a cert for a VIP puppet-master using the puppetca -- create command I had everything working on the primary drbd node, but when I fail over, everything starts up fine, but I

After an unexpected and unreasonably long hiatus, I''ve finally returned to implementing Puppet in my environment. My puppetmaster: Puppet 0.25.4, Facter 1.5.7, Ruby 1.8.7, and FreeBSD 8.0. I''ve got five clients using the puppetmaster so far. After about 24 hours, I''ve got three puppetmaster processes running. This number continues to grow over time. If stored configs

Hi! I''ve installed puppetmaster 2.7.13 on a server with CentOS 6.2 with a rpm supplied by yum.puppetlabs.com. I''ve setup a apache2 vhost with mod_ssl and passenger. The server is configured to autosign the cert requests. The agent installed on the puppetmaster''s server works fine. I''ve a second agent on a server which can sync with the server too. This
