[Puppet Users] Multiple errors on puppet client runs: A section with name updates already exists
Hello, I'm currently running Puppet 0.25.5-1 on CentOS 5.5. Everything has been going swimmingly until a couple of weeks ago, when I began receiving errors on one of my nodes. The node in question is also my puppetmaster, but the errors seem client-related.

If you're deploying manifests and code that are sensitive to being the right combination of config files vs source you absolutely want to avoid using source and favor content. Puppet has a catalog cache and will use the cache if anything went wrong during compilation of your new catalog. The 'something goes wrong' can literally be anything like syntax errors but also software crashes, being out of memory, write errors to disk or any of a 100 other factors. In this scenario puppetd will use the old catalog BUT it will still fetch files with source from the master. Should a file fetch pass it will apply the just downloaded file. In this scenario its conceivable that you end up with a scenario where your manifests are out of sync with the files being installed on your servers and this could render your servers broken. If you have very sensitive combo's of software, config and supporting files all being copied out and applied with puppet, or even if you are using packages to deploy software but puppet to deploy the configs you want to be very very careful of the cache. I recommend either avoiding source in these cases or disabling the feature that let puppet use the cache on compile failure. I also monitor my compiles for success. I've often campaigned for a catalog that combines files and everything else into one artifact but I think we're some way off from realising that still. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Ideally we'll get other languages to be clients directly obviously thats the biggest win. Are you using the SSL security plugin? It uses YAML and there's some sample Perl code that speaks to mcollective - at least mc-ping - in ext, it should be easy to make any language that has a syck YAML library to work with mcollective. Eventually I hope to have some nice libraries in the usual suspects like Perl, Python and PHP but really I dont know or dont care enough for those languages to bother doing it. I'd gladly help someone who is keen to write such a library though. We should probably also consider making JSON based serialization an option for this kind of thing though I quite like that the Marshal and YAML based plugins preserve data types 100% but that also risk making the thing ruby specific so it's probably high time to make it so that we only support the primitives that JSON supports.

The ruby wrapper could be made using a generator so you might not even need to know much of ruby.

However, I am still having some issues. My Environment: * Amazon EC2 * Puppet 2.6.1 * Passenger 2.2.5 Issue #1: From the puppet master node you can see below that passenger is running. However, when I run passenger-status it says that it's not running?

Besides the already mentioned there are some security issues with using the file server from puppet. Richard Crowley covered this a bit in his puppetcamp talk[1]. He also distributes all of his configs in the catalog, so there's an example of production. On the downside your catalog will get pretty big. I can say that you shouldn't have any problems at 300Kb, at least. I'd be wary of getting too much bigger than that.

You also might want to watch http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4837 That looks more like what you want to me although it isn't finished. #4817 seems to have working code though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.
