---------------------------------------- Bug #8349: Cannot install puppet on Windows using the default options https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8349 Author: Josh Cooper Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: The puppet install.rb does not run on Windows, because it attempts to install into /etc. We need better defaults on Windows so the install goes cleanly, <pre> Z:\work\puppet>ruby install.rb C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:243:in `mkdir': No such file or directory - /etc (Errno::ENOENT) from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:243:in `fu_mkdir' from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:217:in `makedirs' from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:215:in `reverse_each' from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:215:in `makedirs' from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:201:in `each' from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:201:in `makedirs' from install.rb:299:in `prepare_installation' from install.rb:433 </pre> In addition, the --destdir option does not work, because it does not handle drive letters or UNC paths (it generates a path like C:\mypuppetC:\mypuppet\etc) <pre> Z:\work\puppet>ruby install.rb --destdir=c:\mypuppet C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:243:in `mkdir': Invalid argument - c:\mypuppetC: (Errno::EINVAL) from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:243:in `fu_mkdir' from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:217:in `makedirs' from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:215:in `reverse_each' from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:215:in `makedirs' from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:201:in `each' from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:201:in `makedirs' from install.rb:300:in `prepare_installation' from install.rb:433 </pre> So currently the only way to install puppet on Windows is to specify the various directories: <pre> Z:\work\puppet>ruby install.rb --bindir=c:\mypuppet\bin --sbindir=c:\mypuppet\sbin --mandir=c:\mypuppet\man --configdir=c:\mypuppet\conf </pre> Note facter does install cleanly -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
