In my puppet client I have puppet.conf defined puppet server as mypuppet server = mypuppet.example.net Not sure why the puppet client puppet-test is still sending these noises to the syslog Jun 10 13:36:23 puppet-test puppetd[10863]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Could not find server : getaddrinfo: node name or service name not known Jun 10 13:36:23 puppet-test puppetd[10863]: [ID 702911

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 puppet world, I''m sure this is probably an easy fix, but I cannot seem to resolve this issue. The puppetmaster starts correctly and so does the puppet agent, which receives the update correctly if I restart the puppet agent service manually or during the timed updates; however, if I perform an "puppet kick", it just fails with the following error: Triggering

Hi I am reading and configuring puppet in relation to http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrelOnEnterpriseLinux The question I have is in relation to the ssl certificates generated the first time the puppetmaster service is run and the ability to use a CNAME. If the host that i am running the puppetmaster on is server.example.com and i want to use puppet.example.com as a CNAME that

I have some facter file to distribute before running puppet on the platform. The problem is : how can i send the facter local.rb file so the rest of the .pp file take into account the new facts created ? ex: i have sudopath as a facter fact and one sudoers class that need that sudopath to work. How do you model that ? it seems puppet would have to rerun after the new local.rb is downloaded

Hello, Running into a problem when wanting to daemon-ize the agent. It doesnt seems to do anything: - cannot find any daemon process with (ps aux | grep puppet) - the config is not updated after editing some params on the master - /var/log/puppet stay empty... while, when logged as root, it is working without issue with $puppet agent --test. ##Conf Ubuntu 12.04 Puppet 2.7.11 ## Daemon is

Hi, I am using the cloud provisioner to bootstrap some ec2 nodes, and these clients are signed using a randomly generated certname, which is put in /etc/puppet.conf at the bootstrap time (eg certname = d7bcd693-73fd-495f-0876-ff91ea11111e). But my puppet code repo also manages the puppet.conf file, so the file will be overwritten on the client at the first puppet run. Nevertheless, i should not

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

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

Hi Team, Tried following the steps here http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Puppet_Windows for deploying an agent on windows (windows server 2008 r2) but really finding it hard to make it work (the agent deployment itself went fine after following the steps). I have a working puppet-server on RH 6 and have tested few RH clients which work fine. The very first hurdle is that i

Hello, First of all I am new to the Puppet technology. I am trying to get my puppet agent (windows) to reach my puppet master (Linux) server. In this tutorial: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/agent_master_basic.html It claims to test your puppet agent you need to use the ''puppet agent --test'' command. My result when I tried this is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Puppet

hi, can you help me? when I start the puppetmaster it returns me the following error: Could not prepare for execution: Got 1 failure(s) while initializing: change from directory to file failed: Could not set ''file on ensure: Is a directory - /var/lib/puppet/facts -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hi, I reinstalled puppet-server and am now getting these error messages from clients: err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/facts]: Failed to generate additional resources during transaction: No such file or directory - /var/lib/puppet/yaml/node err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/facts]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: No such file or directory - /var/lib/puppet/yaml/node Could not describe /facts:

I have been looking at Puppet as a possible replacement for cfengine at our site. One difficulty I''ve had with cfengine that I''m wondering if Puppet can solve is that of dealing with laptop/mobile users. Since these laptops move around quite a bit, their IP/hostname is constantly changing. From playing with puppet a bit, I''ve found that it seems to generate the

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.

Could I use my local laptop as a puppet master, and only start up the puppetmaster when I have a change I want to send over to the nodes? Say I only have 1 server, and I don''t want or even need a puppetmaster running all the time. Is this or something close to this type of setup possible? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet

For some reason I am unable to run "dry runs" of the puppet client on my puppetmaster server. Running puppetd with the --test, --noop and verbose / debug flags results in nothing for about a minute or two then this output... $ time puppetd --test --noop -v err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: execution expired warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not

Hello Puppet list, I am taking over the puppet configuration of a sysadmin who left, and am having troubles deploying puppet to a new node. We are using puppet v2.7.3 both on the client and the puppetmaster, on Ubuntu 10.10. The node asks for a certificate fine, and I signed it on the puppetmaster. For the following logs extract I ve replaced the FQDN of my node by puppet.example.com. When doing

I am at the end of my rope here so I pray to the gods that puppet-users can help. Using Debian apt-get install puppetmaster-passenger you get a fairly complete puppetmaster setup. I have the Pro Puppet book next to me and following Chapter 4 on setting up Puppet with Passenger I can see that apt has already done most of the ground work. For example the config.ru script is owned by puppet,

Hi! I''ve spent quite a while before I understood that for Puppet to see changes in custom functions'' code Puppetmaster needs to be restarted. Is this a normal behaviour or may be it''s a bug ? -- Best regards, Sergey Arlashin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
