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

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

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 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

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?

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

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.

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, I''ve mcollective 1.2.1 with puppet 2.6.12 on rhel5.6, facter 1.6.2 setup from http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/mcollective-plugins/wiki/FactsFacterYAML. Now I''ve create a custom fact in /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter/ customer_status.rb. On the client; Running facter customer_status works. Running ''puppet agent --test'' works, customer_status

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

How can I pass an array to a define? It''s not documented in the puppet language guide. I''ve got: define lvm::create_vg ( $pvdisks ) { exec { ''pvcreate'': command => "/sbin/pvcreate -yf $pvdisks", unless => "/sbin/pvdisplay $pvdisks", ... } } class someclass { lvm::create_vg {

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'',

I just upgraded puppet from 0.25.5 to 0.26, and I''m getting this: (/Stage[main]/Repo::Livegamer_software_base/Yumrepo[Livegamer-Software-Base]) Could not evaluate: File /etc/yum.conf does not contain a main section However, my /etc/yum.conf contains this. What''s wrong with that? Is puppet smoking crack? [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum keepcache=0 debuglevel=2

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

I downloaded the latest version of puppet 2.6.0 today, and still can''t get parameterised classes to work. At least, I think it''s 2.6.0... the version number in the RPM spec file says 0.25.5. This simple example: /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes/pax/name01.pax.xxx.com.pp: node ''name01.pax.xxx.com'' { class { amodule::afunc: version => "1.0" } }

Dear all, I have a custom fact, that reads a file and then generate the values dynamically based on the file content. It''s something like this: inFile = "/home/admin/OSs.txt" > gos = {} > > if File.exist?(inFile) > open(inFile, ''r'').each do |line| > next if line =~ /^\s*(#|$)/ > parts =

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

How do I debug errors with external nodes? When my client connects, the following appears on the puppetmaster when running in debug mode.
