Hi all, I''m using the pear/pecl package providers from http://www.mit.edu/~marthag/puppet/ and I''ve run into a memory limit problem. I''ve tried hacking the script so that it passes additional options to pecl/pear, however these just error out about not being valid options (even though they are!). I''m now at a point where the following stanza gives the

I am finding that the puppetlabs-apache module is somehow adding 30-60 seconds onto a host''s catalog compile time when the puppetmaster has no other hosts contacting or generating catalogs. The Puppetmaster is setup to use Puppet-2.7.18 - Apache & Passenger. RIght now only 2 hosts are even configured to use this new PM, the PM itself and a Foreman host. With neither hosts

As some before me on the group, I have a problem getting the Chocolatey provider to work on Windows. I downloaded it from Github and placed it in /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/chocolatey. (I am running Puppet Enterprise 2.7.19). On a Windows 8 client, I have a very simple manifest: class install_notepadplusplus { if $::osfamily == ''windows { $pkg =

Hi folks, When using SRV lookups (over 2 puppetv3.1.1/RHEL6 masters), does anyone know why the "pluginsync" fails to sync at irregular intervals ? I am using "pluginsync = true" and "pluginsource=puppet:///plugins" on my puppet-clients(3.1.1/RHEL6). Yet I get failures such as "Error: Could not set ''file'' on ensure: Error 404 on SERVER: Could

I might have the terminology wrong, but how to a give new puppet providers to the puppet clients? I''m thinking a provider is the thing the puppet client uses to implement a task that the master has given it. Am I way off here?

I am trying to get a custom fact to sync. The fact is in a module. It will sync if I run puppet with "--pluginsync" but not otherwise. I have "pluginsync=true" in my puppet.conf. Shouldn''t the command line option and puppet.conf option have the same results? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I am running up against a less than helpful error message when trying to install php-pear-DB (why people cannot content themselves with all lowercase packages names escapes me, but that is a rant for another time and place). After enableing centos-plus and adding includepkgs=php-pear-DB I get this: # yum install php-pear-DB Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository

*Note, I''m very green when it comes to ruby development.. I''ve created a couple of custom providers and types, both of which rely on a particular ruby gem in order to function. How should I go about ensuring the gem dependency on the puppet clients before puppet syncs the plugins (the broken ''require'' in the provider will cause puppet to exit during a run)? On

Hey folks, I am using puppet for some OpenStack deployments and on a new node things look pretty good right until after the successful reception of a cert from the puppet master. I get this error: err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: $concat_basedir not defined. Try running again with pluginsync enabled at

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

Hi All, I''ve downloaded a Puppet module and I''m trying to add a parameter to it by editing lib/puppet/type/<resource>.rb. I simply added: newproperty(:pcfree) do desc "My description here" end In the corresponding file in lib/puppet/provider, I do something with :pcfree. Whenever I call the resource from Puppet with my new parameter, it keeps

Hi, I have a fresh CentOS 5.8 Vagrant VM that I''m using to emulate a customer''s server. During the first Puppet run, it takes 13 minutes and 48 seconds to sync the Puppet Labs stdlib module. On a similar Ubuntu 12.04.1 Vagrant VM, Puppet starts up, and almost instantly goes from plugin sync to facter load. Is this load time for stdlib on a RHEL variant normal?

Hi, When I run puppet agent --test --environment 42A, I have the following warning : Warning: Local environment: "42A" doesn''t match server specified node environment "production", switching agent to "production". ... The puppet manifest for the environment "42A" isn''t applied. The puppet version is 3.3.1-1puppetlabs1 on agent and

Basically, the way puppet installs things things with /usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold install <package_name> fails due to authentication WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated But if I do it from an ssh console normally, using apt-get install <package_name> it works fine without issues. Is there a way to change how puppet uses the

Good Evening! I''m having issues with the order in which items are ran inside of a service class, it''s attempting to run before the provider is present (the provider is provided by the glassfish package). It looks for the glassfish provider prior to inheriting the repository or the package list. http://snipt.org/woomg I have included a snipt of the code, does anyone have an

Hi group, im updating some modules of puppet, and i found this issue or error, that i cannot get resolved it. My puppetmaster is 2.7.1 and client 2.7.18. I used other modulo to prover apt configurations but i think this is more completed. I know that the error is something missing or my class is not present or something like that, the dependencies of the modulo are installed, stdlib and i

Couple of questions. Firstly, what''s the plugin error about? puppet agent --onetime --test --verbose info: Retrieving plugin err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from source(s) puppet://puppet/plugins info: Caching catalog for mon01.ap1.xxx.com info: Applying configuration version ''1346878830'' err:

So we run puppetd as a long running ruby process on the hosts. When we update a fact that gets auto sync''d to the host it seems when puppetd wakes up and starts its catalog run it doesn''t re-sync the facts. It you run it standalone it will or if you restart the service then it will do the right thing. Do other people see this? Or have you all gone to running out of cron?

Hi, We are totally sold on Pupet (what a nice concept) and are trying to setup a proof-of-concept. We are trying to learn a bit from other people''s work by integrating external modules. One of the modules we wanted to start with was the ''ntp'' module from David Schmitt. It clearly uses some functionalities from the ''common'' module, which we also

Seeing an error that I didn''t get in .24 since my recent upgrade today. I have pluginsync set to true, my fileserver conf is pointing to /etc/puppet/plugins and my config file is using the default pluginsource of puppet://puppet/plugins yet the client fails saying it can''t find it. Did the behaviour change in .25 from .24? [puppetd] pluginsync = true pluginsource =
