Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet 3.02 issue

[Keith Burdis]

The puppet master runs as the puppet user so try 'chown -R puppet:puppet /etc/puppet /var/log/puppet /var/lib/puppet'.

Hey all, this is my first post. I did try and search the group first before posting :)

I've been using puppet for quit some time now and decide it was time to install 3.02.. So I blew a way my old installation of 2.6 and started from scratch. So to test I have two servers running on cent os 6.3. One's to be a master and one's a client

On the client I have installed (yum install puppet)
on the master I have installed (yum install puppet and yum install puppet-server)
I kept my old puppet.conf for reference and determined that most of the configuration options are the same... ( just a basic test.. wanna run a couple modules to move files thats about it )

I have yum installed everything as root
So when I start my master.. I'm able to start the puppet agent(service puppet start).(as root)  but then when I try and start the master (service puppetmaster start) (as root) it says its starts.. but then when I do a service status it states puppet dead but pid file exists.. so then I go under /var/log/messages and I See this

Starting puppet master version 3.0.2
reopening log files
Could not run: Permission denied - /var/log/puppet/masterhttpd.log
I also see this too

Starting puppet client version 3.0.2
reopening log file
failed to apply catalog connection refused - connect 2
could not send report - connect

when I check /var/log/puppet/masterhttpd.log it shows masterhttpd.log as rw -rw puppet puppet.. So naturally I do a chmod 777 on it but it doesn't make a difference.

any ideas what could be my issue? Never had anything like this on 2.6..

Thanks so much

Tried that.. so now its owned by puppet:puppet -rw-rw however it still gives me the same errror

[Keith Burdis]

Try 'service puppetmaster restart' and see if you get any logs under /var/logs/puppet.

If that doesn't work try 'service puppetmaster stop', delete the pid file and then run 'service puppet master start'.

So I've changed all puppet directories and files to puppet:puppet..
Nothing gets written to the masterhttp.log under /var/log/puppet
it shows the master as starting when I do servce master start
however it says this

Starting puppet master version 3.0.2
reopening log files
Could not run: Permission denied - /var/log/puppet/masterhttpd.

log

When I do a service puppetmaster status
it states puppet dead but pid file exists. I manually delete the pid file and it does the same thing

[Keith Burdis]

Do the parent directories - /etc, /var, /var/log etc have 755 permissions? Perhaps the puppet user can't access one or more of these directories.
