Hello, we have one puppet server managing approx servers, all FreeBSD. The problem is that the puppet clients all hangs, one by one, eventually. They will run for anything between an hour up to a week. But eventually the all hang. We really like puppet and want to keep using it. But the way it is now is completely unusable. We''ve tried many versions, from 24.x, and now 2.6.1rc1. But

I am new to using puppet and having trouble when updating an agent from a master which has a lot of files. Usually the updates work, but when there are a lot of files I get this error when running: sudo puppetd --test --server puppet.example.local --trace --debug >>> debug: Failed to load library ''rubygems'' for feature ''rubygems'' debug: Failed to load

Hi everyone, I have a puppet master/client infrastructure setup with apache. When on the same datacenter I don''t have any problem. I am trying to use another datacenter, so I setup the fileserver.conf as followed: # Files in the /path/to/files directory will be served # at puppet:///mount_point/. [modules] allow *.datacenter1 allow *.datacenter2 [plugins]

Greetings. I am trying to set up a test puppet server in my environment to evaluate windows clients. On the server side, I am using puppet 2.7.14 (from the repos). I''m using the 2.7.14 windows 64 bit on the client (windows 2008 R2). I have another puppetmaster already using "puppet" hostname in DNS (running a very old version of puppet - can''t upgrade yet for various

Hello, I am running a puppet master version 2.7.5 on Centos 5.7 and a puppet agent version 2.7.5. I am simply trying to apply changes to files by defining a file resource in my manifest. When I execute my puppet agent to do the installation it complains it can not find the file meta data. Here is my manifest. class neospeech::config { file { "/usr/vwmrcpd/vwmrcpd/vwmrcpd":

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 see in the changelog that: You now must specify an environment and you are required to specify the valid environments for your site. (#911) Does this mean that the puppetmaster has to be updated before clients work correctly? I ask because I''m testing out a client upgrade to 0.24.0 (server is still 0.23.2) and this is what I''m seeing: [~]% sudo /foo/bin/puppetd

Hi guys, I have a box that needs to identify itself to the puppetmaster as something different from the FQDN. I added certname to the agent configuration before the first run, but it doesn''t seem to be sufficient. The certificate was generated for the FQDN, and the host appears in the dashboard as the FQDN, and the node name used to evaluate the manifest is also the FQDN. I would

Hi all, I''m having a stupid moment getting a remote file bucket working. My client only file buckets locally, not remotely.

Hi guys, I am fairly new to puppet and I am having a problem with one of the clients. I recently installed a new server that should get config from puppet master.

Hi guys, I''m trying to setup my first puppet installation and I''m running into problems. I''ve got the puppetmaster running on a fresh install of Centos 5.4.

Any clue as
