It looks that most people writing the puppet Wiki and posting letters to this list are using puppet at least 0.25. I use a Ubuntu 8.04 server, where the most recent version of puppet I can get from repositories is 0.24.4-3. In order to be up-date with others here, I tried to get more recent version manually. The problem is that none of the "howtos" available on the internet (including the puppet Wiki) works or is complete enough for me (I am not familiar with ruby).
Can someone please tell, step-by-step, what should I do to have puppet working, preferably with stored configuration (I guess the simplest database backbone would be sqlite3). As a point of reference this is how far I got All commands done as root. 1. aptitude install ruby libopenssl-ruby git rdoc 2. git clone git://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet 3. git clone git://github.com/reductivelabs/facter 4. cd facter 5. ./install.rb 6. cd ../puppet 7. ./install.rb 8. puppetmasterd --mkusers 9. puppetmasterd --genconfig > /etc/puppet/puppet.conf After that I can run successfully some sample manifest locally, by using "puppet -v /etc/puppet/test.pp". The problem arises when I run "puppetmasterd --verbose --no- daemonize". The result seems equivalent to puppetmasterd --genconfig, it just throws sample config file with no error message at all. The only options which work are "--help" and "--version", which displays "0.25.1" What am I missing? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
