well i decided to change the route a little, I have decided to make
a .rb file for adding fact rather then the environment variable and
heres what am doing and still getting the same error:
1. On the puppetmaster in your modules directory create a facts
module with
subdirectory files. In this add any of your custom .rb scripts
# ls /etc/puppet/modules/facts/files
day_of_week.rb
hardware_platform.rb # = wiki example
2. On the puppetmaster in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf I added:-
pluginsync = true
factpath = $vardir/facts #vardir = /var/lib/puppet
3. On the puppetmaster in /etc/puppet/fileserver.conf I added:-
[facts]
path /var/lib/puppet/facts
4. On the server I added the file /etc/profile.d/facter.sh
containing
export FACTERLIB=/var/lib/puppet/facts
after this again when I connect the client to puppet server I get the
following error:
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of
resource: Could not retrieve information from source(s) puppet://puppet/plugins
Help guys!!!
