puppet apply or puppet agent -t fails on razor installation. Need help on razor too.

[Arvind P R]

My puppet master server is working fine and i now installed razor module on the same server.

i downloaded the tar.gz from https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/razor and did the installation using 

puppet module install <module_name> --ignore-dependencies. 

i took care of all the dependencies too.

My puppet server is behind a corporate authenticated proxy which prevents me from using "puppet module install". puppet bug!!

post razor installation, I included the following lines in 

/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests/site.pp

node puppet_master {
  include razor
}

now if i try to run the following commands:

puppet apply /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests/site.pp

OR

puppet agent -t

on the same server, the commands hang

puppet apply hangs without any message while the following is shown on puppet agent -t

[root@centos-razor ~]# puppet agent -t

the command does not complete!!

further i am looking for a simple installation guide with centos. i cant find one anywhere. most of the blogs and guides are for ubuntu.

what I need to know is the bunch of files and config files I have to keep on the tftp server for puppet/razor to work. if anyone can point me to that, it would be helpful.

thanks

Hi,

next step would be to find out *what* is actually blocking the
agent/apply process.

Things that come to mind
* `ps auxwf` to see if there is a child that won't exit
* using strace -f to watch what the ruby process and its children are doing

There may be other/better approaches to look under the hood. Think ruby
debugger and/or pry.

HTH,
Felix

What is the output of "puppet agent -t -d" ? The -d debug flag should give you much more detailed information about what child process, exactly, is blocking.

All,

Thanks for your responses. I managed to get beyond this point. It was an issue with some dependencies.

Thanks
