Title: Message Title

Josh Cooper commented on PUP-4436   Re: With a gem install of puppet, when run as root, 'puppet {agent|apply}' fail This also blocks passenger packages. When running passenger, we specify all of the root directories, e.g. --confdir, to point to the "root" locations. However the per-user run mode locations are still resolved. Previously this wasn't an issue, because we'd just do: File.expand_path(if Puppet.features.root? then system else user end) So we'd call File.expand_path('/etc/puppet/.puppet') and the return value would be ignored. However, now we're trying to create parent directories as a side-effect, and that fails (because passenger running as "puppet" doesn't have permission to write to the system directory): App 6698 stdout: ["/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util/run_mode.rb:76:in `conf_dir'", App 6698 stdout: "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/settings.rb:50:in `app_defaults_for_run_mode'", App 6698 stdout: "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet.rb:135:in `do_initialize_settings_for_run_mode'", App 6698 stdout: "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet.rb:127:in `initialize_settings'", App 6698 stdout: "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util/command_line.rb:67:in `block in execute'", App 6698 stdout: "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util.rb:438:in `exit_on_fail'", App 6698 stdout: "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util/command_line.rb:66:in `execute'", App 6698 stdout: "config.ru:44:in `block in <main>'", App 6698 stdout: "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/rack-1.6.0/lib/rack/builder.rb:55:in `instance_eval'", App 6698 stdout: "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/rack-1.6.0/lib/rack/builder.rb:55:in `initialize'", App 6698 stdout: "config.ru:1:in `new'", App 6698 stdout: "config.ru:1:in `<main>'", App 6698 stdout: "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/passenger-5.0.6/helper-scripts/rack-preloader.rb:111:in `eval'", App 6698 stdout: "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/passenger-5.0.6/helper-scripts/rack-preloader.rb:111:in `preload_app'", App 6698 stdout: "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/passenger-5.0.6/helper-scripts/rack-preloader.rb:157:in `<module:App>'", App 6698 stdout: "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/passenger-5.0.6/helper-scripts/rack-preloader.rb:29:in `<module:PhusionPassenger>'", App 6698 stdout: "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/passenger-5.0.6/helper-scripts/rack-preloader.rb:28:in `<main>'"] App 6698 stdout: Notice: which_dir conf_dir App 6698 stderr: Error: Could not initialize global default settings: Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetmaster/.puppetlabs Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346-sha1:dbc023d) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
