Could not load confine test 'operatingsystem': cannot load such file -- puppet/provider/confine/operatingsystem

[lth]

Hello,

I'm having some trouble. I keep getting the following warnings when
trying to run:

$ puppet master --no-daemonize
/usr/local/build/puppet-bundle/vendor/gems/ruby/1.9.1/gems/
puppet-2.7.12/lib/puppet/external/pson/pure.rb:7:in `<module:PSON>':
iconv will be deprecated in the future, use String#encode instead.
Could not load confine test 'operatingsystem': cannot load such file
-- puppet/provider/confine/operatingsystem
[repeats a number of times]

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30) [x86_64-linux]

$ which ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby

$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga)

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick response. However the agent is receiving an
error and doesn't get the catalog. We're getting this:

Ruby (Rack) application could not be started
The application has exited during startup (i.e. during the evaluation
of config/environment.rb). The error message can be found below. To
solve this problem, please follow any instructions in the error
message.

Hi,

Is that a ruby 1.9.1 and 1.9.3 issue? Did you upgrade ruby on the host?

Hi, 

Thanks for everyone's help.  Just an update to this issue.  The displayed error was indeed harmless as noted on this thread.  

The actual error we found in Apache's error_log was:

Exception LoadError in PhusionPassenger::Rack::ApplicationSpawner (cannot load such file -- rack) 

We think we were getting this because Passenger wasn't finding Bundler's Gemfile in spite of being in the bundle.  We fixed it by changing the DocumentRoot from /etc/puppet/rack/public to /etc/puppet/public (since /etc/puppet is where the Gemfile is).

Thanks again,

-LTH
