Re: [Puppet Users] permission denied errors on /var/lib/puppet stuff during puppetd -t

Note that I'm testing puppetd -t on the master, just for simplicity, so I gave it a blank node entry, i.e. "node 'puppet-master' { }", to eliminate recent module changes as the culprit. On Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 1:32 PM, Justin Lloyd wrote: > I did verify correctnes

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Duplicate definition + parameterized classes + class scope

John, I'm running into some snags of my own and your explanations have been helpful. However, I'd like to ask if you can comment a bit more on the emphasis Puppet Labs has on parameterized classes versus include. For one, I'm thinking of modules available via github. Take the puppetlabs/mcollectiv

I just dealt with something similar regarding installing puppet agent vs. master and whether mcollective client (and thus activemq) should be installed. However, I'm including my base class rather than inheriting it. So how about something like this? # templates.pp (imported into site.pp) class sy

[Puppet Users] Bug when using array in file resource?

I'm trying to use an array on a file resource to create symlinks. If I have multiple elements in the array, I get a redefinition error showing it's replacing $name or $title with the CLASS name rather than the RESOURCE name. Here's a simplified example using one array element, where I'd expect to e

Hi all, First off, we're running Puppet 2.7.6 with Ruby 1.8.7 on CentOS 6.0. Now, I'm using tildes in a template to prevent newlines from appearing but ruby/puppet is choking on them. */tmp/puppet$ cat test.erb* Line 1: Line 2 will exist if running on CentOS. <% if operatingsystem == "CentOS" ~%

How would one go about fetching a template from Maven? For example, the normal way of using a file resource for an application config file might be: file { "/etc/app/app.xml": mode=> "0755", owner => "appuser", group => "appuser", content => template("app/app.xml.erb"), # r
