similar to: Setting puppetmaster modulepath from inside manifests

I''m testing the new environments feature in 0.24.1. http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMultipleEnvironments But I am having a problem getting it to recognise the modulepath setting within the environment. I''m wondering if this is a bug or if I am doing something wrong For this example, the environments are called "prod" and "test". On the

Warning - Puppet newby here. I am trying to set up a puppetmaster 3.3.2 and have run into a snag right out of the box. I want to add a new directory to modulepath= in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf So I added the following line in the [main] header modulepath = /etc/puppet/modules:/opt/our-repo/puppetmaster/modules And populated new new directory with modules I have written. I then run puppet

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

So before I start I should be upfront and disclose that I''m using external_nodes, so in keeping with that I''m trying as hard as possible to keep all the actually ''specific'' data in the node config files (currently just yaml)and have nothing specific in modules especially. So I have this definition: (credit goes to DavidS for the inspiration) define git::repo (

Hi, While puppet creates its own directories for internal stuff (puppetca, state, etc.), there''s a fair bit of latitude given to where things like manifests and uploaded files live. I didn''t get much guidance from the docs when I first set things up so I mostly poked at things until the worked. Take a look at the following and let me know if this looks reasonable; if so, it

Hi, Puppet 3.1 now uses YARD to generate its API documentation. Is anybody aware of the possibility to generate nice YARD docs for a given module path, replacing the default RDOC-style site from "puppet doc --modulepath ..."? Could the YARD Template from Puppet 3.1 be used for this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users"

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

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 List, Puppet Version: v2.7.13 Question - If I correctly setup multiple manifestdir''s in the puppet.conf file how can I import a node pp file located in a different directory tree to site.pp? My configuration information is below. In my puppet.conf file I have setup an environment called "stable", within this environment I have setup the manifestdir, modulepath and

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]

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

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

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

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

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

This feels like a FAQ and sorry if it is, I failed to find an answer. I''d like some advice on handling backward compatibility between puppetd and puppetmaster. My puppetmaster is at v0.24.5 using Debian Lenny packages. I tried to bring up a puppetd client v0.25.4 (Ubuntu 10.04 packages) but failed to have it download the puppetmaster''s certificate. The puppetd client seemed

I''m trying to load balance multiple puppetmasters using apache and passenger as described in James''s book. Was able to get a single passenger server installation to work correctly. When I configure the frontend load balancer and backend workers, the backend workers does not authenticate even though I am passing the headers to it. curl -v -H "Accept: pson, yaml" \

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

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

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
