Failed when searching for node

[Jason Hatman]

I've configured a new puppetmaster server.  I've installed Dashboard.  Everything works fine using webrick. As soon as I start using apache2 to serve dashboard, the nodes stop working. I can't quite pin down where the problem is.

ERROR MESSAGE

My error log shows something else.

For this setup I used the puppetmaster-passenger install. Then I installed dashboard using passenger. Nodes fail to talk to dashboard using passenger.

I started over and used the puppetmaster install. I then installed passenger manually. Then when I installed dashboard and configured it to use passenger as well, everything worked.

There is probably an issue with the puppetmaster-passenger package and my Ubuntu server setting or something. I don't have the know how to fix it so using the other package works for me.

first, you configured enc to get node classes from dashboard.

after configuring apache to serve dashboard, enc script can't get node classes successfully, so puppet agent failed.

the command enc get node classes from dashboard is "/usr/bin/env PUPPET_DASHBOARD_URL=http://localhost:3000 /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/bin/external_node munkitest1ml.local', you can just run it in terminal, then can see what's wrong with it.

then, your pasted apache configuration shows passenger_modules section is commented, is it configured in other place? what's dashboard's status, can you open it?

[Jason Hatman]

Dashboard opens fine. I have the module line commented because puppetmaster also uses passenger and it's already loaded. I'll try the enc line in terminal when I get a chance.
