I can't find anywhere where the configs are overridden. I was able to fix the issue by starting puppetmaster with the command: puppetmasterd -l /var/puppet/log/puppetmaster.log
but it still concerns me that the config file is not read, even if I point to it directly, by starting it with: puppetmasterd /usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf However, if I open it in debug mode, it says: [r...@server /usr/local/etc/rc.d]# puppetmasterd --no-daemonize -- debug --verbose /usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf info: Starting server for Puppet version 0.24.8 debug: Creating default schedules debug: Failed to load library 'ldap' for feature 'ldap' debug: Failed to load library 'shadow' for feature 'libshadow' debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ca]/File[/ usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/ca/serial]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/etc/ puppet/ssl/ca] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[main]/ File[/var/puppet/log]: Autorequiring File[/var/puppet] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ssl]/ File[/usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/certs/ca.pem]: Autorequiring File[/usr/ local/etc/puppet/ssl/certs] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ssl]/ File[/usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/public_keys]: Autorequiring File[/usr/ local/etc/puppet/ssl] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ssl]/ File[/usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/certs/server.pem]: Autorequiring File[/ usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/certs] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ca]/File[/ usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/ca/requests]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/ etc/puppet/ssl/ca] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ca]/File[/ usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/ca/private]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/ etc/puppet/ssl/ca] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ca]/File[/ usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/ca/private/ca.pass]: Autorequiring File[/usr/ local/etc/puppet/ssl/ca/private] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ca]/File[/ usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/ca]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/etc/puppet/ ssl] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[main]/ File[/usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/etc/ puppet] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ssl]/ File[/usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/private]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/ etc/puppet/ssl] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ca]/File[/ usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/ca/signed]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/etc/ puppet/ssl/ca] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ssl]/ File[/usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/private_keys/server.pem]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/private_keys] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ssl]/ File[/usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/public_keys/server.pem]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/public_keys] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ca]/File[/ usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/ca/ca_pub.pem]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/ etc/puppet/ssl/ca] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ca]/File[/ usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/ca/ca_crt.pem]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/ etc/puppet/ssl/ca] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[main]/ File[/var/puppet/state]: Autorequiring File[/var/puppet] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[main]/ File[/var/puppet/lib]: Autorequiring File[/var/puppet] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ssl]/ File[/usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/private_keys]: Autorequiring File[/usr/ local/etc/puppet/ssl] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ca]/File[/ usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/ca/ca_key.pem]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/ etc/puppet/ssl/ca] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ca]/File[/ usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/ca/inventory.txt]: Autorequiring File[/usr/ local/etc/puppet/ssl/ca] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ssl]/ File[/usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/certs]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/ etc/puppet/ssl] debug: /Settings[/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf]/Settings[ca]/File[/ usr/local/etc/puppet/ssl/ca/ca_crl.pem]: Autorequiring File[/usr/local/ etc/puppet/ssl/ca] debug: Finishing transaction 337156560 with 0 changes So it appears that it is still not reading the line: masterlog = /var/puppet/log/puppetmaster.log On Apr 30, 3:04 pm, Peter Meier <peter.me...@immerda.ch> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > The names of the hosts have been changed to protect the innocent. > > > Puppetmaster is version 24.8 and running on FreeBSD 7.2. > > can you check how your puppetmaster is started?
