I''ve got this: file { ''/opt/sugarsync/tomcat/tomcat-home/current'': ensure => "tomcat-$config[''tomcat_version_server'']"; where $config[''tomcat_version_server''] was set with extlookup (the yaml one), by loading: --- tomcat_config: tomcat_version_server: 6.0.20-1 tomcat_version_libs: 1.0-1

This is pretty ugly. I''m using puppet to install Oracle, ie an exec{} wrapped around: /u01/oracle_extract/linux.x64_11gR2_database/database/runInstaller -silent -responseFile /etc/oracle_response.rsp The problem is that the damn installer backgrounds itself and returns control to the shell. I tried putting the above command in a script, followed by a wait command, but that

So, I noticed that when adding a service to puppet, puppet is running a chkconfig <service>. However, as far as I can tell, puppet should be running a chkconfig --add <service>, otherwise the symlinks don''t get created from the service in /etc/rc.d/rc6.d back to the service in /etc/init.d. As as a result, the service is not stopped on shut down. I must be missing something

I have an array: $nodes = [''gfs01'' ,''gfs02'', ''gfs03'', ''gfs04] and a string variable: $brick_store = "/var/bricks" How can I append "/var/bricks" to each item in the array? Lack of a looping construct makes this challenging in puppet. Such that: brick_array = [''gfs01:/var/bricks'',

All, I have --confdir=/etc/puppet/common in my /etc/init.d/puppetmaster and /etc/init.d/puppet files, vardir set to /var/lib/puppet in /etc/puppet/common/puppet.conf, and yet, every time I run puppetca it creates /etc/puppet/ssl.

I''m confused about this... https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/ I see a lot of functions there that are the same as the ones that come standard with puppet. If I create a module and dump this stuff in there, what happens to the existing stuff? How does puppet know which one to use?

Seems like nodes are matching the default node before they are matching the more specific nodes. My site.pp has: include "nodes/*.pp" In the nodes directory are two files, default.pp and nagios_server.pp. default.pp: node default { include role::common } nagios_server.pp: node ''mon01.us1.xxx.com'' { $node_env = "production" include

Dear all, Is there any way to enable a particular yum-repo (like: yum -- enablerepo=<repo_name>), which is disabled as default, for a particular package installation? For our system, we need to "dag" for particular two packages but keeping it always enabled, clashes with other packages, which we don''t want to install for dag at all. What''s the option(s) I have to

Anyone, I''ve read this doc several times: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/plugins_in_modules.html As a whole, it really doesn''t make sense. It seems pretty obvious it was written by someone with deep knowledge of the subject, but there is little context for someone like me. Is there better documentation somewhere?

How do I debug errors with external nodes? When my client connects, the following appears on the puppetmaster when running in debug mode. It''s not feasible to always be running the pupeptmaster in debug mode. debug: importing ''/etc/puppet/modules/yum/manifests/client.pp'' in environment production info: Automatically imported yum::client from yum/client into production

Here we go with puppet 0.25 certificate problems again. I had a system where puppet was running fine. I reinstalled it. Running puppet on the client causes this: "Could not request certificate: Retrieved certificate does not match private key; please remove certificate from server and regenerate it with the current key". Fine... so I run ''puppetca --clean

So, I''ve been doing something like this for applications that have a client and server component... node base_node { include syslog_ng::client }} node app_node inherits base_node { } node syslog_server inherits base_node { include syslog_ng::server } ... because I want the client portion, syslog-ng in this case to be installed on everything. However, the server node also has a

Oh my god.... what is this? Getting this on first boot of new client. Aug 24 01:11:09 app03 puppet-agent[5392]: Reopening log files Aug 24 01:11:09 app03 puppet-agent[5392]: Could not request certificate: Neither PUB key nor PRIV key:: header too long I stop the client, and remove the ssl directory on the client: [root@app03 puppet]# service puppet stop Stopping puppet:

So, this has always puzzled me a bit. By convention, init.pp contains one class, named the same as the module. However, what is the convention when the module may have multiple external access points? Say you have a module called ''syslog'' which provides both a client and a server class. I typically have used syslog::server and syslog::client. I''ve ended up using this

My issue may be related to this bug: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13858 "Custom types in environments require loading into master''s libdir" However, now I''m not so sure, This was working previously with a given client. However, after trying on a fresh client, it''s failing with: err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find a

Has anyone got/seen Python code to read puppet reports? I added a bunch of these: class PuppetReport(yaml.YAMLObject): yaml_tag = u''!ruby/object:Puppet::Transaction::Report'' def __init__(self, host, logs, metrics, records, time): self.host = host self.logs = logs self.metrics = metrics self.records = records self.time = time However, the Python YAML

I''ve installed the puppet labs lvm module. After fixing the missing "}" at line 20 in init.pp (really?!?!), I''m getting this:'' err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type physical_volume at /truth/sauce/env/prod/modules/role/manifests/common.pp:43

I have this: class foo::foobar ($version) { } which is called like this: class facility::sanjose inherits facility::common { class { foo::foobar: version => "1.3.13" } } puppet complains with this on the client: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find parent resource type ''facility::sanjose'' of type hostclass in
