Puppet is failing to restart lighttpd using the Debian init script. Both the default action of stop/start and using the reload action, which basically does the same thing, fail. It seems to be a filehandle problem. Changing the execute method in service.rb to redirect stdout to /dev/null allows the daemon to restart. Otherwise, I end up with a zombie process and according to strace, ruby

Hi gang, I feel like I''m missing something fundamental here… I''ve got the following: class snmp::rhel::rh5enable { $collector = [''10.0.0.1'', ''10.0.0.2''] define add_snmp_hosts_allow ($ip) { exec { "hosts_allow_$ip": command => "/bin/echo \"snmpd : $ip : ALLOW\" >>/etc/hosts.allow",

Hi Folks, Like to get some advice on module organization. I have a system that has a few different components. One or more components can be installed on a host. The hosts also have a "type" dimension. This "type" dimension could (should) ideally be used to configure the system (fill in a bunch of variables). Problem is, I''m not sure how the best way to do

I am using stdlib module''s validate_re function to validate parameters passed to a parameterized class as pasted here: http://pastebin.com/7eYAeLEa . The validation works fine however when I run this manifest locally using ''puppet apply'' command where puppet execution stops if a validation test fails. However when I use it in client-server model then I do see a

Good Afternoon All, I''m just pondering - I think that my expectations of the forge are not 100% aligned, or I''m still rubbish with puppet! I imagine the forge to be used in the following scenario/way I''m in a situation where I need to provision package X in a particular way. I fire up my terminal: $ puppet module search packageX Searching https://forge.puppetlabs.com

Hi all, after moving to parametrized classes, I''ve started to declare them instead of including. Now, I''m trying to understand the differences (internal) between declare and include, and, reading http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/parameterized_classes.html again, I found some sentence which confuses me: "Since include wasn’t designed for use with parameterized

Hello, I have a class called website, which requires both httpd and mysqld classes. Without defining it within the site.pp (node section). Is it possible to define that "website" requires these additions? Such as; class website inherits httpd, mysqld { ... } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To

Hi, My dilemma is how should I write my module to be "next-gen" ? Not from a code point of view but from a design/layout point of view. We wrote our modules for 2.6.x like every beginner would have done: write everything in init.pp. But now, the fashion is to use parameterized classes and Hiera which we will use with puppet 2.7.x. I mainly followed/watched what Example42 was doing.

I am trying to import a hash definition from a separate file but this fails whereas including the text verbatim in the original manifest works fine: class monitor ($master, $interface) { # import "masters.pp" $sensor_rule_categories = { ''dmzo'' => [scan,finger,ftp,telnet,rpc,rservices,ddos,dns,tftp,web- coldfusion,misc,web-php,x11,attack-responses,

Hi, I have been trying to improve the coding of some of my puppet recipes and had some trouble so wrote this: http://blog.wl0.org/2011/05/thoughts-about-extlookup-in-puppet/ Comments on the web seem to indicate that extlookup() solves "all problems" but I don''t really see that and hence have proposed a possible way to keep the data closer together and make the extlookup()

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" } }

I''m using puppetlabs/firewall with Puppet 2.7.2, and for the most part it''s working great. I have this in my sites.pp, which I took from this list sometime ago, to save firewall rules to disk when they''re changed: # Always persist firewall rules if ($kernel == ''Linux'') { exec { ''persist-firewall'':

I am using puppet 2.6.11 and want to pass parameter for implementing sudo for mulitple users. So here is my simple code, which I would like to pass to hiera to specify user name lookup. Appreciate any help, thanks in advance. class sudo( $name) { #Class:: sudo # # package { "sudo": ensure => present, } file { "/etc/sudoers": owner => root, group => root,

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

Hello Everyone, I''m still pretty new with puppet so please bare with me. I tried searching and I''m pretty sure I''ve ready my answer but I''m not sure if I''m going down the right path just yet. My scenario is this: I have 4 environments, Dev, Test, QA, Prod. Each of these environments lives in 2 sites, LA and NY. I have 5 applications that are site and

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

Hello In is possible inherits from parametrized class?? For example i have base php52 class like this: class linux::php52($pools, $extensions='''') inherits linux { ...... } and whants to inherit it like this: class linux::php52::cluster inherits linux::php52 for cluster configuration (cluster stuff -f for example prevent php from automatic startup), and class

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

Im using a parameterized class in my site.pp: class development($user) { class{"basenode": user => $user} class{"nodejs": user => $user} include "coffeescript" include "ruby" } This class defines nodejs class that epects a user as input: class nodejs($user) { class {"nodejs::npm": user => $user} $node_ver =
