Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Dashboard installation on Debian Wheezy

[Juan Sierra Pons]

Hi

Yesterday I had the same problem. I solved it using this link:

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/manual/1.2/bootstrapping.html#installing-dependencies

Install the RubyGems package system with the script provided.

Hope it helps.

Best regards

Hi,

I've got an issue on installing Puppet Dashboard on Debian wheezy. When I launch the db:migrate, I've got an error :

It looks like a ruby version problem. On version 1.8 ftools exists, but not on 1.9.1 (the standard on Debian wheezy). Does someone has an idea ? I've searched on the web, but didn't find something relevant.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thanks for the answer, but still searching as I've got this error now :

Hi

Did you update the alternatives? as stated in point number 3 [1]

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gem gem /usr/bin/gem1.8 1

It seems you are still using the 1.9.1 ruby version instead of the
1.8.1 recently installed

I did as well. But I'm still blocked to the rubygem compilation :

> update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gem gem /usr/bin/gem1.8 1

> ruby setup.rb                                                   
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:206:in `try_activate': undefined method `find_by_path' for Gem::Specification:Class (NoMethodError)

    from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
    from setup.rb:25:in `<main>'

And of course, I've installed all required packages.

[Deimos Fr]

Ok, works now. I has to did a sad thing. For unknow reasons, this doesn't work at all :
> update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ruby ruby /usr/bin/ruby1.8 1
> update-alternatives --remove ruby /usr/bin/ruby

So what I did is :
> rm /etc/alternatives/ruby
> ln -s /usr/bin/ruby1.8 /etc/alternatives/ruby

Now it works :-) Using gems with the appropriate Ruby version is better :-)

Thanks again

Hi ,

After installing the script and while starting the service i obtain the error message bellow

/etc/init.d/puppet-dashboard start

[....] Starting Puppet Dashboard:/usr/bin/ruby: No such file or directory -- /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/script/server (LoadError)

[FAIL] Puppet Dashboard is not running ... failed!

 failed!

Any idea please.

Thanks

[Felix Frank]

Hi,

you may want to find out why /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/script/server
is missing, or why it is erroneously being looked up.

Also, check your logs for potential prior errors.

HTH,
Felix

[Walter Heck]

I realise it's slightly off-topic, but please be aware the puppet dashboard is deprecated and won't be developed further. In case you are just starting now, it might be better to look for something else. I have created an overview here: http://www.olindata.com/blog/2014/01/puppet-management-gui-comparison

The dashboard deprecation announcement is here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/puppet-users/dashboard$20future/puppet-users/j44EbTJY7HI/yn5KDrmOZZAJ

just FYI :)

cheers,

Walter
