Issue #2996 has been reported by John Vincent. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2996: Puppetmaster not working with symlinks for puppet data directory http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2996
Author: John Vincent Status: Unreviewed Priority: High Assigned to: Category: Target version: Affected version: 0.25.1 Keywords: Branch: This may be similar to the bug that caused puppetmasterd to get deleted on shutdown via CentOS/Redhat init script. I decided to create a new LV to store my puppet stuff. This is a whole new project for me so I wanted to think ahead. Once I got the basics working, I shutdown puppetmaster, created the new LV, mounted it on /puppet and then moved the files from /var/lib/puppet to /puppet. I rm'd /var/lib/puppet and create a symlink to /puppet. I started puppetmaster back up and was greeted with a nasty error about CA certificate headers being too long. I wasn't able to find anything that seemed to match the problem exactly. In the process of verifying permissions and troubleshooting, I realized that /var/lib/puppet was no longer a symlink but instead a new directory with all new files. My original files were still intact in /puppet so I went through the process again. Sure enough, symlink removed and directory recreated. In the end I simply changed the puppet.conf to point to /puppet. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
