puppet ignores storeconfig_backend in puppet.conf

[Joseph Lorenzini]

Hi all,

I am encountered an odd behavior when i revoke a certificate on the puppet master. I see this error. I am using puppet 3.7.4 on CentOS 7.

Error: undefined method `verify_active_connections!' for ActiveRecord::Base:Class

This leads me to think that when a revocation is happening, the storeconfig_backend is set to activerecord. However, i have specifically configured /etc/puppet/puppet.conf to use puppetdb. Here's the master section in /etc/puppet.conf

[master]

    ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN

    ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY

    storeconfigs = true

    storeconfigs_backend = puppetdb

  #  reports = puppetdb,tagmail

    reports = puppetdb

    pluginsync=true

Does anyone know what might  be going on here?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Have you restarted the Puppet Server (or Master) process after doing the changes?

Best,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Yes I did several times. Here's what I find interesting. Puppetdb is fully functional and working for actually storing configs and retrieving data from the rest Api. In addition, if I downgrade the activesupport gem from 4.2.7 to 3.2, then the exception is no longer thrown when I revoke a certificate.

So I think everything seems fine and leads me to think that puppet may use activesupport for other internals and I just hit gem versioning issuing. I suspect I wouldn't be able to reproduce this problem on the latest version of puppet.
