After a quick read of the 'Installation Guide' at puppetlabs.com I see that there is either tar or distro options. I looked at distro option and see that for redhat there is only outdated puppet-0.25.5-1.el5.noarch.rpm at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/ . No rpms for 2.6.4. Anyway that EPEL source of rpms would be my last option. Tried the latest tar option with puppet-2.6.4.tar.gz and see that that install.rb is very buggy - there are serious permission problems. The steps from the 'Installation Guide' do not produce a running server:
tar xzvf puppet-2.6.4.tar.gz cd puppet-2.6.4 ruby install.rb cd /etc/puppet puppet --genconfig > puppet.conf mkdir -p /etc/puppet/manifests cd /etc/puppet/manifests cat <<EOF > site.pp # site.pp file { "/etc/sudoers": owner => root, group => root, mode => 440 } EOF puppetmasterd --mkusers puppetmasterd The puppetmasterd does not start. You have to start the creative part with fixing permissions in /etc and var by hand. Then run into ssl certs issues. Does anyone have a "real" installation guide that works? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
