similar to: Weird "cannot reassign variable name on node" error when I try to use standalone

I read the guide at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/scope_and_puppet.htmland others'' mail, i am a little confused now, below is my understanding: 1. top scope only refers to site.pp, not include node definitions and facts. 2. in puppet class, using variables not local, must specify the namespace, like $class::variable, if it''s a top scope variable or a fact variable or a

I started getting the following errors from my puppet master: > Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid parameter provider at /some/module/manifests/foo.pp The module would vary, but the error was always the same. I started googling, searching lists, etc. And turned up a whole bucket load of issues that all seem related and are all unresolved:

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,

Hi, We would like to specify nodes in site.pp from a file. Is this possible? We have a script that should only be run by x nodes which can be different from time to time. Any suggestions?

Hi, So, I am writing a module to install and configure ucarp. There is only one module in puppet forge and that is not that good. In ucarp, same configuration files have to be served on two servers and to configure the host I am defining a custom resource ucarp::host::config. So, for using, I''ll have to create this resource two times on two different servers. So, this resource

Hey everyone, I seem to be running into an error that I can''t find an answer for. I have a simple manifest that installs a few packages and then starts a few services.

hi All, I''m a bit new to puppet. Is there a mailing list for puppet beginners?:) I have a service module called postfix, which defines file in a class: file { ''/etc/postfix/main.cf'': owner => "root", group => "root", mode => 644, content =>

I see that there are an assorted bunch of "provider" types for resource type user. Are there not any "local file" providers for it? I have need of ensuring that certain local user accounts get created on all machines, reguardless of what the system "/bin/password" and "useradd" type mechanisms are set to. It would be really nice to find a pre-written

Hello, I''m configuring my linux server with puppet open and is ok. My question is the next; I''ve a declared in mi nodes.pp the next: [.............] node ''basenode'' { include ''baseos'' include ''motd'' import ''useradd.pp'' } #All nodes for my domain node /.*\.example\.com/ inherits

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''m not sure at all what''s going on here, but I''ve spent a lot of time reading over the puppet hiera docs and setting everything up, but when I run puppet agent it just seems to ignore the hiera setup completely. Both the puppet master and agent nodes have exactly the same versions of puppet and hiera (installed via the official puppet APT repository). I''ve

Hello All, Moving from 2.5 to 2.6.2 and I was wondering if there is a preferred directory structure for using multiple environments? Does it work much different in 2.6 than in 2.5? When I made the move I assumed (I know) that my current structure and configurations would just roll over but that isn''t the case.

I have one module, kibana, that defines a file snippet for the apache module to fulfill (e.g., /etc/https/conf.d/kibana.conf). The apache::params class defines a variable of the path of where this snippet should be placed, $config_d. The snippet uses this variable in its definition. However, it seems that the snippet never resolves the $apache::params::config_d variable, and I''m

Hi, In class parameters, things like x="x", y="y${x}" don''t always evaluate right (y="yx"), seems random. I''m using 2.7.1 class test1( $servicex = "sonar", $logfoldera = "${homex}/logs", $logfoldere = "${homey}/logs", $logfolderh = "${homez}/logs", $logfolder =

Howdy: I need some help please to get hiera configuration data derived from YAML, thru puppet. I have studied Internet search results and puppet documentation on create_resources and custom defines but need a little help along. I can print out the YAML from variables, arrays, and, finally, hashes too from a puppet manifest. One thing that is stumping me is how to access from the custom define

Greetings, I''m trying to wrap my head around a solution to a problem I''m facing with an exported resources configuration I have.

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
