Hi all... finally getting around to trying Puppet, I'm excited to get
started, but I'm stuck on install. My server a 3-month old Xserve with 6GB
of RAM. Didn't configure any other services for it yet, and I tried
installing puppet and facter 3 different ways (because I thought the missing
rrd directory could've been an install glitch).
First I tried downloading from puppetlabs.com and using 'ruby install'.
Second, I tried the packages for OS X (linked to from Puppet's site). Third
I tried 'gem install'.
After install, I create a file called site.pp at /etc/puppet/manifests with
the following. I change this file to puppet user and group permissions.
file { "/etc/passwd": owner => "root",
group => "bin", mode => 644,
}
Then I start puppet using: sudo puppetmasterd --verbose --debug
--no-daemonize
The end of the output shows:
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/rrd]/ensure: change from absent to directory
failed: Could not set 'directory on ensure: Permission denied -
/var/lib/puppet/rrd
debug: Finishing transaction 2165906120
Could not run: Got 1 failure(s) while initializing: change from absent to
directory failed: Could not set 'directory on ensure: Permission denied -
/var/lib/puppet/rrd
I have no rrd directory... here is what I have.
server:~ admin$ ls -al /var/lib/puppet/

>From here I've tried creating the rrd directory and applying user and group
permissions to puppet, but it just hangs with the following output when
rerunning the aforementioned puppetmasterd command.
notice: Starting Puppet master version 2.6.4
debug: No file server configuration file; autocreating modules mount with
default permissions
debug: No file server configuration file; autocreating plugins mount with
default permissions

What am I missing? Thanks for the help... I can't wait to start using
Puppet!
