Serving files from custom mount point in Puppet 4

[mohammad kashif]

Hi

Is serving files from custom mount point depreciated in puppet 4? I configured fileserver.conf file in same way as  in puppet 3 but it is not working. I could not find any explicit statement in puppet 4 documents about custom mount points. Has any one managed to serve from custom mount point in puppet 4?

Thanks

Kashif

It is not deprecated at all.

Can you please post your configuration (fileserver.conf, auth.conf, and the puppet manifest which causes the error) along with the exact error messages?

Hi Eric

rpm -qa | grep puppet
puppet-agent-1.3.2-1.el6.x86_64
puppetlabs-release-pc1-1.0.0-1.el6.noarch
puppetserver-2.2.1-1.el6.noarch

cat /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/fileserver.conf

[site_files]
   path /etc/puppetlabs/codes/files
   allow *

I haven't changed auth.conf file
cat /etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/conf.d/auth.conf

....

This should be /etc/puppetlabs/code/files ...

This message is on the agent, there should be a corresponding message in the server logs -- can you include that if you still have trouble after fixing the 'codes' -> 'code' path in fileserver.conf?
