Uhm, why is this in the "Sharing Puppet Functions" thread?

Sorry, didn't know it belonged elsewhere.  My bad.


Anyway, this looks like a bug. Can you reproduce this? I'll gladly
report it if you'd like to save the hassle, but I'll need to reproduce.

Very easily reproducible. I was reproducing it for four days. The module I was trying to write initialized the /var/www/html Web content directory with a index.html. Try mistyping something in the source path that should normally go to the module's file directory (bloody trifocals). BTW this is puppet and server 3.5.1 with current dependencies on CentOS-6.5.

Hi.

Had the following error in my messages log from the puppet gent daemon,
i.e. the client side:

{/Stage{main}/web_server/File{/var/www/html/index.html])  Could not
evaluate:  Could not retrieve file metadata for
puppet://modules/web_services/client1/html/index.html:  Connection
refused  -  connect(2)

Now maybe I wouldn't be quite so annoyed if I hadn't been chasing file
protocols and network problems for four days on this one.  And the
computer gods know I've google it enough and seen all kinds of responses.

Please, please, please would it be too much trouble for a simple "file
or directory not found" error instead?  That's what the problem was. But
I just spend four days googling this and try to find nonexistent network
problems among other things.

I like the idea of puppet especially with a huge install client base or
compute cluster etc.  But come on guys.  Is it too much task for simpler
more direct and meaningful error reporting?

Chris.
