external classifier not calling class
Asif Iqbal
Here is my classifier
(root)@sys-ubuntu:/usr/local/bin# cat external.sh
#!/bin/sh
# Super-simple external_node script for versions 0.23 and later
cat <<"END"
---
classes:
- stb
- securid::server
parameters:
puppet_server: puppet.example.net
END
exit 0
here is the dir structure for the securid module
(root)@sys-ubuntu:/etc/puppet/manifests# ls -lR classes/stb.pp
-rw-r--r-- 1 puppet puppet 195 2010-02-25 14:51 classes/stb.pp

Any idea why puppet client is showing absolutely no sign of any class
when running it? I tried many other classes with same result
I tried to put a "/bin/date > /tmp/nodes" as the top line of the
classifier and it is continuously updating that file
(root)@sys-ubuntu:/usr/local/bin# cat external.sh
#!/bin/sh
# Super-simple external_node script for versions 0.23 and later
/bin/date > /tmp/nodes # this generates and updates continuously
cat <<"END"
---
classes:
- stb
- securid::server
parameters:
puppet_server: puppet.example.net
END
exit 0
So it does read the classifier file but not making any attempt to call
the classes
Here is the puppet client report
It stopped working. I had been using the same classifier to manage my nodes.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

following Paul's advice I updated the config.ru
(/usr/share/puppet/rack/puppetmasterd/config.ru)
ARGV << "--debug"
and now I see this in the puppetd on client
debug: Calling puppetmaster.getconfig
err: Could not call puppetmaster.getconfig: #<RuntimeError:
HTTP-Error: 500 Internal Server Error>
err: Could not retrieve catalog: HTTP-Error: 500 Internal Server Error

Volcane from #puppet at irc.freenode.net helped me find out the problem
passenger calls puppetmasterd as user `nobody'. Once I changed the
puppet dirs to
own by `nobody' all started working.
That means when I updated the config.ru it decided to run
puppetmasterd as user `nobody'
instead of user `puppet' . older config.ru did not have that issue.
Here are my old config.ru and new config.ru.
Any idea what change I can make on new config.ru
so that puppetmasterd runs as user `puppet' instead?

Hi Asif,
I was under the understanding that passenger run puppet under the user that was the owner of the config.ru file. At least that's the way we have it configured and we've had no issues so far.
Cheers,
Atha

passenger decides based on the owner of config.ru with which user the
application is started. If the owner is root, it is started with the
default apache user [1].
Hence own the config.ru as puppet, reown the folders and everything will
work.
imho this issue is totally unreleated to the content of your config.
cheers pete
