Issue #23311 has been reported by James Eckersall. ---------------------------------------- Bug #23311: vardir default in 3.3.2 https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/23311
* Author: James Eckersall * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Hi, I'm suffering from what looks to be the same or related bug http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16637 I have an infrastructure of approximately 500 nodes managed by Puppet. They were all running 2.7.22 and today I've come to upgrade them all to 3.3.2. The boxes are a mix of CentOS and RedHat, EL5 and EL6. We manage Puppet with Puppet, so today I updated the manifest to point to the updated rpm's in the repo and let it rip. Most of my nodes are now failing to even start Puppet with the following error: Error: Could not intialize global default settings: Error converting value for param 'factpath': Could not find value for $vardir If I add the below line to /etc/puppet/puppet.conf, all is good with the world. vardir = /var/lib/puppet That line did not previously exist in the puppet.conf file, so it looks like the upgrade to 3.3.2 has introduced this bug. Now I'm faced with the unpleasant task of manually deploying a script to each node to insert that line as Puppet now refuses to start on my nodes. I can easily replicate this. Remove that line from puppet.conf and the agent will not start ("service puppet start" or "puppet agent --test" as root).
