I'm currently running a puppet master-client setup and using facter to gather information on the client hosts. However, I've run into a problem when trying to get the deployed apache version for some of the hosts.
My custom fact script is as follows: Facter.add("apache_version") do setcode do if File.exist? '/bin/httpd' Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('/bin/httpd -v | /usr/local/bin/grep version | /usr/bin/cut -d: -f2 | /usr/bin/tr -d " "') end end end For some of the hosts, the /bin/httpd invocation will give the following error: ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file or directory This same command runs without issues on a regular (bash) shell. This is usually indicative of a bad/missing LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. It seems that the Facter::Util::Resolution.exec invocation will spawn a new /usr/bin/sh shell session, with very few environment variables set (LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not one of them). Cross-checking with working hosts shows no differences, I inclusively have a different facter script that reports the output of 'env' and it's similar for both working and non-working hosts. Has anyone had a similar issue, or has any idea of how to investigate further/work around the problem. Is there a way to explicitly set environment variables on Facter::Util::Resolution.exec invocations? I suspect that the cause for the different behaviours may not be caused by puppet/facter, but by some environmental (OS, shell, apache) issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
