Re: Puppet
Daniel Koblas
puppet. I was hesitant to do this before, as I didn't (and still
don't) know what all to configure on the account (password, level of
access, etc), and I also wanted to at least try to troubleshoot
whether --mkusers didn't work because of something I was missing/
mangling, or if it just, well, didn't work.
Getting a different error now:
15:58:11 tester:/etc/puppet root# puppetmasterd --verbose --debug
Ruby on darwin is broken; puppetmaster will not set its UID to
'puppet' and must run as root
and system.log:
Feb 6 15:24:38 tester puppetmasterd[13934]: Reopening log files
Feb 6 15:24:38 tester puppetmasterd[13934]: Starting Puppet server
version 0.24.7
Not perfect, but the daemon runs, and a test from a client (# puppetd
--server myserver.domain.com --waitforcert 60 --test) is producing
the expected results. I'm seeing hope!
This is the ruby I'm running:
15:25:05 tester:/etc/puppet root# /usr/bin/ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [universal-darwin8.0]
I upgraded ruby to 1.8.6 before I started monkeying around with
puppet, because I was aware of some issues with 1.8.2 that came stock
in 10.4. Not sure why it's complaining.
Now that we've gotten this far there are a lot more things I want to
test and try out, but it's late Friday afternoon, so I have a good to-
do list for Monday morning. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks
again for the assistance thus far.

macs. I'm getting some unusual errors.
I'm following the install guide from here:
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/InstallationGuide#BuildingtheServer
This is what I've done:
1) Install Puppet and Factor packages from Nigel's site
2) create /etc/puppet/puppet.conf with the following content
[main]
user = 0
group = 0
server = chm200.educ.psu.edu
certname = chm200. educ.psu.edu
autosign = false
[puppetd]
evaltrace = true
factsync = true
3) create /etc/puppet/fileserver.conf
[facts]
path /etc/puppet/dist/facts
allow *
[files]
path /etc/puppet/dist/files
allow *
4) Created first manifest. /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
# site.pp
file { "/etc/sudoers":
owner => root, group => root, mode => 440
}
5) mkdir /etc/puppet/dist/facts
6) mkdir /etc/puppet/dist/files
8) sudo puppetmasterd --no-daemonize --verbose
This is what I've got:
bash-3.2# sudo puppetmasterd --no-daemonize --verbose
/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/util/settings.rb:1042:in `parse_file':
Could not match line [main] at /etc/puppet/puppet.conf:[main]

from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet.rb:177:in `parse_config'
from /usr/bin/puppetmasterd:165
Two questions.
One, what could be wrong
Two, am I supposed to have a space in the certname = chm200. educ.psu.edu entry?
Thanks

Allister Banks
Same boat as you, and I've just started getting this going by breaking
it enough times to figure out this much:
One, check your puppet.conf file so there are no spaces after the *
Two, no, I'm pretty sure that was a typo - no space is required.
And I really hope to make a straight-forward setup tutorial once I
have thoroughly understood the programs functionality inside and out.
Good luck!

Rusty,
No space in the certname. Sorry, that is a typo mistake on my behalf.

I'll be posting and updated guide on how to get this running within a
few months, hopefully to help others like myself. Cheers
