[Puppet Users] Bootstrapping puppet using... puppet

Hi All In the process of refactoring my whole puppet setup, I got to build a new puppetmaster and I chose to go with Phusion Passenger instead of my existing Mongrel based setup. To do that, I wrote a puppet manifest that pretty much automates what you can see on http://reductivelabs.com/t

Hmm, what does the ENV say the user is? Does that user have appropriate permissions on the files in the PATH? The errors mean for some reason the Ruby runtime environment can't access those executables. Not sure why... On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 1:35 PM, martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > >

The suitable logic is trying to find those underlying commands and failing. If it can find the commands, suitable? will be true. On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 12:14 PM, martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Minor correction: > it is suitableprovider() which returns an empty list, while it > successfu

Minor correction: it is suitableprovider() which returns an empty list, while it successfully loads all providers, but provider.suitable? always evaluates to false. cheers, /Martin On Nov 13, 8:04 pm, martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm one step closer now :) > > It turns out that facter fid

I'm one step closer now :) It turns out that facter fiddles with the PATH - I've filed bug #1745. It sets the PATH to /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin But it still doesn't explain why I get the "Could not find default provider for ...". I've found out that suitablepro

Moving a bunch of config files around like this is going to be clumsy without Puppet. If you have to do this a lot you could parametrize a define, and I would get rid of the ensure => absent once the changes have propagated. $0.02 On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 10:51 AM, Evan Hisey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

[Puppet Users] Re: Trouble running puppet from cron

I don't see how puppet changes the env. Try printing the ENV from puppetd on one of the systems that are failing. ENV is a global hash, you should be able call each with a block to print to the logs. If we verify that the runtime has the appropriate user and path, that will be confusing, but if

Hi there In common with many of you, we run various types of server (webservers, mail gateways, etc) in several datacentres. I can't work out a clean way to configure location-specific variables in otherwise identically-configured servers. These location-dependent settings are used in many module

[Puppet Users] Re: Temporarily stopping a service

I'll partially answer my own question... a script would be better than chained execs. But I still think it would be handy to have a way to "notify" services to start or stop rather than just restart. I also think it would be handy to have a "precondition" parameter which is like a notify, but bef
