I am puzzled and banging my head on the wall since two hours.
After doing some basic and first time setup with ENC (see my earlier posts
here<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/puppet-users/eoq31kUHdlk/2bI1gLc5m5MJ>)
I succeeded to propagate client data. Now when I revert back to the old
site.pp style, everything broke loose.
For ENC I had to change the puppet.conf to include "node_terminus" and
"external_node" parameters, and had to comment them out when I go to
site.ppstyle, but puppet just doesn't let me do this anymore.
I am using a template, e.g. "
/etc/puppet/module/modulename/template/puppet.conf.erb" to populate
puppet.conf in clients, but this doesn't work anymore.
If I manually change "/etc/puppet/puppet.conf" in a client machine, running
puppet
agent changes it back to the one where the lines "external_nodes" and
"node_terminus" were defined.
I don't understand where is this ghost file that is overwriting puppet.conffor
clients irrespective of what is defined in the
puppet.conf.erb.
The file resource type for puppet.conf looks like this. "puppet" is also a
module name in /etc/puppet/modules.
file {
"/etc/puppet/puppet.conf" :
ensure => present,
content => template("puppet/puppet.conf.erb")
owner => "puppet",
group => "puppet",
notify => Class["puppet::puppet_service"],
require => Class["puppet::puppet_install"];
}
Now if I run puppet agent on one of the clients, it complains with the
following error and uses cached catalog.
Warning: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will
continue:
Warning: Error 400 on SERVER: You must set the 'external_nodes' parameter
to use the external node terminus
...
....
....
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Failed when searching for node node_name: You must set the 'external_nodes'
parameter to use the external node terminus
Notice: Using cached catalog
Info: Applying configuration version '1357861593'
Any help is appreciated. I am just lost at this moment with no clue.
