Greetings, I''m having an issue with my implementation of exported resources. I have a memcache server pool, and want to update the /etc/php.d/ memcache.ini with the ips of all the servers. Previously, I hard coded the $memcacheservers array in the node manifest and the template collected and populated the template. Now that I''m moving to exported resouces, how do I get it to

Hello puppet masters, I am cleaning up some puppet modules, using puppet-lint. The warning I am getting is: top-scope variable being used without an explicit namespace I can turn this particular check off, but in doing my research I''m finding all sorts of messages saying to avoid using +=, to avoid using variables in the node scope, and to switch to a parameterized class whenever

Hi folks, when I try to do something like: define railsproject($name, $uid, $gid, $userpass, $sqlpass) { mysql_database { "$name_staging": ensure => present } mysql_database { "$name_production": ensure => present} ....more stuff... } I get: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Duplicate definition: Mysql_database[] is already

Hi, I worked with puppet (< 0.25) back in 2008/2009. We were able to deploy 200 servers from scratch and manage them. It worked fine. I''m now with a new customer and I''m pushing Puppet (and I''m also back to puppet on a side project). We''re considering Puppet 2.6 to manage RHEL/CentOS 5 or 6 hosts. I''m "upgrading myself" to Puppet

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

hi folks, As a response to " Dynamic lookup of $var at is deprecated. Support will be removed in Puppet 2.8.

I''m trying to upgrade from 2.6.7 to to 2.7.6 and I''m running into an issue in my extlookup() calls. A lot of the variables which should be defined aren''t defined within extlookup.rb. I''ve tested 2.6.7 agent and 2.7.5 agent against the 2.6.7 master and 2.7.6 master. I adjusted extlookup.rb slightly to provide some debug output.

I currently have a child class of a parent one. The parent defines some variable that I need to use in the child class. I am also using gepetto. Gepetto is complaining about the syntax of the child variable. It is saying that "$parentVar" should be "$::parentVar" however, when changing to what Gepetto wants to use this breaks my classes. Does anyone know the proper

Dear puppet wizards, http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/lang_defined_types.html does not suggest to me that nested parametrized defines would be forbidden, hence I expected the following code to work: add_to_ssh_authorized_keys.pp: -------- define a::ssh_keys::add_to_ssh_authorized_keys($homebasedir="/home", $targetuser="root", $keyowner, $keyownername,

Hello, I am trying to setup a template with data being passed in as a long string of data which is being returned via extlookup() i.e. $resolvers = "10.10.10.10 11.11.11.11.12.12.12.12" The template should split those up and put a nameserver entry per line in /etc/resolv.conf I have this in the template now:- <%=

Hi, I want some config depending on memorysize. What I tried was if ($memorysize >= 256 * 1024*1024) { ... } But this fails because $memorysize is a string (and contains a "G") and can''t be compared to an int. Are all facts strings?

Hi -- I''m trying call apply in standalone mode on a configuration I''ve written.
