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?

I''ve been struggling with puppet variable scope all day, well, for several months actually. I think I have pretty simple requirements. For any given node, I want to be able to set a series of variables and include a set of classes, based on three different aspects of a node, being physical location, operating system, and function. If I try and do this with classes, I find that variables

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

Anyone know where I can find a good chrooted named module for centos? Named as chroot is ugly... soft and hard links everywhere...

I have a freshly installed and updated CentOS 5.4 system running puppet 0.25.5. I followed the passenger docs here: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Using_Passenger Upon starting the client, the following appears in the apache error log. [Thu Jun 24 10:48:40 2010] [error] [client 10.10.4.45] Premature end of script headers: production [ pid=6785 file=ext/apache2/Hooks.cpp:706

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

Some days I wonder why I even bother with puppet. --- classes: - datacentre::new_york - role::appserver - elements::tfel0 environment: production: parameters: < set key/value pairs here > class ldap { < do some stuff that behaves slightly differently between different data centers > } class role::appserver { include ldap } So, I wanted to set some variables in the

I''m trying to wrap my head around these files... do both of them need to reside on the client and master? are there any docs that describe these files and what all the option/ sections are and what they do?

All, Can someone give me some ideas as to, or point me to where I can find documentation on the issues I may have upgrading puppet from 0.25.4 to the latest? Also, the server is using passenger, and I know there''s a whole lot of magic voodoo that has to happen to make sure that the version numbers of all the bits are compatible.

I''ve got a directory, /u01/app that is owned by oracle.oinstall. I have this in my manifest: # # Mount point for the Oracle database. # ''/u01/app'': device => ''/dev/xvdo'', atboot => true, ensure => mounted, fstype => ''ext4'',

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

Does anyone know where I can get the latest puppet, 2.7.1 as RPM''s? The spec file that comes with the puppet 2.7.1 source is broken again, and only version 0.25.5 seems to be available via EPEL, which means that the website''s assertion that you can get puppet as an RPM from there is somewhat untrue.

All, I was looking at the new feature of puppet to manage switches, and it says: "A current limitation is that it isn’t possible to have 2 switches with the same interface name" Does this mean that if one switch has an interface called FastEthernet 0/1, that puppet can''t manage a second switch with an interface called FastEthernet 0/1? If so, that probably means you can

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. Anyone know why? Doug. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this group, send email

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'',

What's the correct syntax for something like the following: yum check-update --disablerepo=dag ivazquez Extras Misc this runs "dead" and doesn't do a check-update. Use kommas? Something else? man just tells to use glob exp, but what about multiple repo's? Kai -- Kai Sch?tzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

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?

Hello Gurus, I tried my best as I can to do RTFM and Googling to find any information to solve the problem myself which I failed. I installed OpenSSL 0.9.6d 9 May 2002 with this option on a Solaris 8 box using Sun Forte6-2 $config solaris64-sparcv9-cc --prefix=/local/santanu/pkg/ssl Now I am trying to install openssh 3.2.3p1 and getting this error. configure:8285: error: *** Can't find

Does anyone know if it's possible to set the codecs for a number via an Asterisk command? Ie, yes you can set the codecs in sip.conf for a user, but I'd like to have a command that can set the same thing so that it can be done without having to change sip.conf. Essentially I want the user to be able to prefix a code to their dialled number to set their preferred codec for that call.

This line in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Debuginfo.repo baseurl=http://debuginfo.centos.org/$releasever/$basearch/ ?causes commands like ?yum search --enablerepo=* foo? to fail with the obscure error Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'base-debuginfo' Apparently this is because the debug info RPMs aren?t hosted there any more, per the page at the top of the site.
