Inventory Service on RHEL - uninitalized constant ActiveRecord

[Michael Altfield]

Hi,

Has anyone had success getting the Inventory Service running in RHEL 6?

My Puppet Nodes are getting the following error:

[root@puppetnode-01 ~]# puppetd --debug --verbose --no-daemonize
...
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not autoload inventory_active_record: uninitialized constant ActiveRecord
...

Here's the gems I have installed:

[root@puppetmaster ~]# gem list
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
activemodel (3.0.11)
activerecord (3.0.11)
activesupport (3.0.11)
arel (2.0.10)
builder (2.1.2)
daemon_controller (1.0.0)
fastthread (1.0.7)
i18n (0.5.0)
passenger (3.0.13)
rack (1.1.0)
rake (0.9.2.2, 0.8.7)
tzinfo (0.3.33)

Any help will be much appreciated!

Update: I found the problem. My company's RHEL 6 template image had customized/hardened umask settings. When I reverted the umask settings to their default values, everything worked fine. It must have been some sort of permission issues..
