Hello. I think this is a bug, but I don't understand it well enough yet
to proclaim it as such a the bug tracker.
A machine I am looking to run puppetmaster on, is having a reverse DNS
problem at the moment (reverse DNS of its IP address fails). Of course
I know the answer is to fix that reverse DNS, and that is in progress.
In the meantime, it look some looking to figure out this failure. When
I run "puppetmasterd", it appears to succeed, and put a few non-error
lines in its log file, then exits. By running with --no-daemonize I got
a stack trace:
# puppetmasterd --no-daemonize
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/utils.rb:63:in `getaddrinfo': getaddrinfo:
Name or service not known (SocketError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/utils.rb:63:in `create_listeners'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/ssl.rb:87:in `listen'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:63:in `initialize'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/httpserver.rb:24:in `initialize'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/network/http/webrick.rb:33:in `new'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/network/http/webrick.rb:33:in
`listen'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/network/server.rb:128:in `listen'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/network/server.rb:143:in `start'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/daemon.rb:128:in `start'
from
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/application/puppetmasterd.rb:87:in `main'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/application.rb:226:in `send'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/application.rb:226:in `run_command'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/application.rb:217:in `run'
from /usr/sbin/puppetmasterd:66
I think it would be an improvement if:
* puppetmasterd didn't need getaddrinfo to work
* If it does need getaddrinfo to work, state in the error or logfile
what it is trying to look up
* If it does need getaddrinfo to work, fail early, rather than appear to
succeed then exit silently. (This would make it more straightforward to
get proper behavior from an init.d script also - such scripts are
supposed to only return success if the daemon really started.)
I'm using the super-fresh Puppet 0.24.8.
I'd be thrilled to find out that I've missed something obvious, of course.
