failed to set mode 0777

[Mike]

Hi,

Any ideas on this?  Maybe I should attempt to re-install this again.  Is there any documented installation process for puppet on ubuntu?  I've tried various ways and always end up with different issues.

Thanks

Mike

This is not a Puppet problem. Any chance you're trying to operate on a network filesystem, or one that is mounted read-only?

I.o.w.: You need to fix that "Operation not permitted" error in your environment. It usually means that the underlying filesystem doesn't allow what you're trying to do.

HTH...

Hi Dirk,

The application was installed into the home drive of a standard ubuntu setup.  I'll have to see what has gone wrong in this situation.  Any suggestions of an installation guide I could follow that would allow me to setup puppet to operate with a cisco network?

Thanks

Mike
