PuppetDB Install error: "::postgresql::validate_db_connection" at /etc/puppet/modules/puppetdb/manifests/server/validate_db.pp:62

Hi Everyone;

I am getting the following error when I try to install PuppetDB.

Maybe I have stale instructions?? 

Thanks!
Bee

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid tag "::postgresql::validate_db_connection" at /etc/puppet/modules/puppetdb/manifests/server/validate_db.pp:62

Found it!!

You need to include the dependencies of the module in you module path:

cprice404/inifile -> http://forge.puppetlabs.com/cprice404/inifile

puppetlabs/postgresql -> http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/postgresql

Regards,

Great, glad you were able to work it out.  Out of curiosity, how did you install the puppetdb module?  I presume you did not use the `puppet module` tool, which installs those dependencies for you.  Would it be valuable for us to put some more explicit information about the dependencies somewhere so that others don't encounter the same issue?  Any suggestions on where we should put that info?

Thanks for the feedback!  Please let us know if you have any additional trouble!

In my case, I need to be able to install as an rpm because we use yum (for now) to ensure consistent distribution across all of our environments. 

Just for testing, I also did an install via 'puppet module' and that worked pretty well...

Ah, I see... so you downloaded the module tarball and built your own RPM?  Anything we could have done to help highlight the fact that the module had some dependencies?
