[Puppet Users] Could not retrieve catalog from remote server Duplicate definition

2010-08-11 Thread martin kummer
hi all

I run puppet version  0.25.4 on Ubuntu 10.4 LTS as client and as
master.
Everything worked fin, but now I got a problem:

If I try to update with puppetd --test, I get this Error Message:

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: undefined method
`closed?' for nil:NilClass
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run


So I looked into the syslog on the client side, and found this:

Aug  8 07:44:38 localhost puppetd[909]: Using cached catalog
Aug  8 07:44:38 localhost puppetd[909]: Could not retrieve catalog;
skipping run
Aug  8 08:14:39 localhost puppetd[909]: Could not retrieve catalog
from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Duplicate definition:
User[web] is already defined in file /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/
web.pp at line 52; cannot redefine at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/
users.pp:36 on node web1
Aug  8 08:14:39 localhost puppetd[909]: Using cached catalog
Aug  8 08:14:39 localhost puppetd[909]: Could not retrieve catalog;
skipping run
Aug  8 08:44:40 localhost puppetd[909]: Could not retrieve catalog
from remote server: undefined method `closed?' for nil:NilClass


So I found out, that I have an,  Duplicate definition. But this
Duplicate definition Error exists in my Log, since Aug  6 21:43:27:

Aug  6 21:43:27 localhost puppetd[909]: Could not retrieve catalog
from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid parameter 'uid' for
type 'Group' at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/users.pp:42 on node web1
Aug  6 21:43:28 localhost puppetd[909]: Using cached catalog

But the behavior changed just 36 hours later, this must have something
to to with the caching catalog. I fixed the  Duplicate definition, but
still get the  Could not retrieve catalog from remote server Error.
Any hints?

Thanks in Advance

[Puppet Users] Re: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server Duplicate definition

2010-08-11 Thread martin kummer
So I was tried it to fix myself.

I found the reason:

First, there was no master running. I restarted it several time to
find the problem, even with:

puppetmasterd -l console --debug

it just died, silently.

Second:

In the file /etc/puppet/fileserver.conf I inserted an space at the end
of the ip.

[files]
  path /etc/puppet/files
  allow 178.78.72.121 -space here

this breaks the puppetmaster silently. this is real bad. this must be
a bug. I try to look at the ticket at 
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/issues,
but there is no search. I have to make an account to search? (ok I am
a little bit angry, searching for a day for the dam space) ;-)
