Adding --logdest /path/to/your/log to your config.ru file should work. Here's what I'm using with 0.25.1 and Passenger 2.2.7:

$0 = "puppetmasterd"
require 'puppet'
ARGV << "--rack"
ARGV << "--logdest" << "/var/puppet/log/puppetmaster. log"

Install gem packages behind a proxy

s...@directionless.org (seph) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 22:36:09 UT

Hi all. My particular environment doesn't allow most of the machines to
make direct external connections, so I send a lot of things through
proxies. And now, I'm trying to figure out how to use puppet to install
gems, via proxy.
The gem command itself has a command line option, or honors the
http_proxy environmental variable. But I don't see how to use either of

Quoting Nigel Kersten <nig...@google.com>:
I've gotten started on this and hit a few problems:
1. git-buildpackage bailed when it wanted someone elses secret key. I
did a 'debchange -i' and added myself, generated keys and ran it
again. Had to tell git-buildpackage to ignore the fact that I'd
changed things and not committed them. This seems a bit odd.

For the record I am getting this too. Mucked around with the Package { provider = yum } stuff in site.pp but no luck yet.

Hi Steve.
Normally we'd have the 0.25.2 package done by now, but two of us who
work here are really flat out with work things at the moment, and so
we've slipped. I'm planning to email the other maintainers tonight to
see if anyone has spare cycles to help out.
Are you familiar with git-buildpackage ? You can always use it to

steve.w...@cwa.co.nz (Steve Wray) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 02:16:48 UT

Hi there
I am about to embark on a project to implement puppet for server management
and I'm noticing that the version currently in Debian testing is 0.25.1-3
while the latest stable version is 0.25.2
I'm not seeing any indication on the Debian project page about 0.25.2 so I
thought I'd check here to see if anyone knew if 0.25.2 is going to be
