Re: [Puppet Users] puppet kick and "Could not set 'file on ensure: Is a directory - /var/lib/puppet/facts"

[DigitalWonk]

Hello Matthew,

If I find a resolution, I'll let you know, but as of yet, I do not have 
a fix.  After tracing a little into the code on the puppetmaster side, I 
believe the error comes from the puppet agent and not on the puppet 
master, but I cannot confirm this definitively.  I have also tried 
setting the chmod and the owner on the /var/lib/puppet/facts with no avail.


If anyone has any other suggestions as to what to look into, that would 
be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Edwin

Hello puppet world,

I'm sure this is probably an easy fix, but I cannot seem to resolve this issue.  The 
puppetmaster starts correctly and so does the puppet agent, which receives the update 
correctly if I restart the puppet agent service manually or during the timed updates; 
however, if I perform an "puppet kick", it just fails with the following error:

This is incredibly similar to a problem I've been having with the puppet 
master[1].  Let me know if you find a resolution.. no one has replied to my 
posting or to earlier postings about similar issues from other users.

[Puppet Users] puppet kick and "Could not set 'file on ensure: Is a directory - /var/lib/puppet/facts"

[DigitalWonk]

Hello puppet world,

I'm sure this is probably an easy fix, but I cannot seem to resolve this 
issue.  The puppetmaster starts correctly and so does the puppet agent, 
which receives the update correctly if I restart the puppet agent 
service manually or during the timed updates; however, if I perform an 
"puppet kick", it just fails with the following error:


Triggering agent1.example.org
Host agent1.example.org failed: Got 1 failure(s) while initializing: 
change from directory to file failed: Could not set 'file on ensure: Is 
a directory - /var/lib/puppet/facts

agent1.example.org finished with exit code 2
Failed: agent1.example.org

I am running puppet 2.6.4, Centos 5.5, and ruby 1.8.5-5.el5_4.8 on both 
puppetmaster and agent.  Here is my /var/lib/puppet directory on the 
puppetmaster:


drwxr-xr-x  9 root root 4096 Feb  8 10:57 ./
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Feb  8 11:19 ../
drwxr-x---  2 root root 4096 Feb  8 10:57 client_data/
drwxr-x---  3 root root 4096 Feb  8 10:57 client_yaml/
drwxr-x---  7 root root 4096 Feb  9 13:17 clientbucket/
drwxrwxrwx  2 root root 4096 Feb  8 10:57 facts/
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Feb  8 10:57 lib/
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root 4096 Feb  9 13:17 run/
drwxr-xr-t  3 root root 4096 Feb  9 13:17 state/

And in my /etc/puppet/auth.conf on the puppet agent, I have the 
following (mention in release notes somewhere):


path /run
method save
allow *

And, in my /etc/puppet/puppet.conf on the puppet agent (note, the server 
is not puppet.example.org):


[agent]
server = myserver.example.org
report = true
listen = true
puppetdlog = /var/log/puppet/puppet.log
logdir = /var/log/puppet
httplog = /var/log/puppet/http.log
autoflush = true

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Edwin
