How to enable/create environments for new puppetserver setup (not puppetmaster)

[Gene Fontanilla]

Hi Puppet users,

I am testing out the new puppetserver vs the apache/passenger setup for the master,
problem is that when i created a new environment I am unable to start puppetserver.

Anything i need to know?

checking the logs the main error i keep on getting is

ERROR [puppet-server] /File[/etc/puppet/modules/production]/ensure change from absent to directory failed: Could not set 'directory' on ensure: Permission denied - /etc/puppet/modules/production
2015-07-23 14:26:34,427

 

ERROR [p.t.internal] shutdown-on-error triggered because of exception!

Thanks! and regards
Gene

Hi Gene,

That looks like a problem with the permissions on that directory.  I'd start by making sure that the 'puppet' user has read permissions on /etc/puppet/modules/production.

Hi kevin,

I already tried changing the ownership to puppet:puppet, and even change file permission to 777 just to be sure, I still get the same error,
I also noticed that all puppet files are owned by root upon installation.

Regards,
Gene
