[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#591897: Subject: puppet: Missing etc/puppet/files directory

[Bertil]

Package: puppet
Version: 2.7.14-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,
just to second the existing bugreport (#591897). I do not think this is just a wishlist bug.
puppet master can be run from the command line to help test and debug issues:

# /etc/init.d/puppetmaster stop
[ ok ] Stopping puppet master.

# puppet master --verbose --no-daemonize
notice: Starting Puppet master version 2.7.14
err: Removing mount files: /etc/puppet/files does not exist

This error message can be eliminated if the directory that is
referred to in fileserver.conf also is created during installation.


# cat /etc/puppet/fileserver.conf

# This file consists of arbitrarily named sections/modules
# defining where files are served from and to whom

# Define a section 'files'
# Adapt the allow/deny settings to your needs. Order
# for allow/deny does not matter, allow always takes precedence
# over deny
[files]
  path /etc/puppet/files
#  allow *.example.com
#  deny *.evil.example.com
#  allow 192.168.0.0/24

[plugins]
#  allow *.example.com
#  deny *.evil.example.com
#  allow 192.168.0.0/24


A second argument fixing this is that it can be confusing with startup errors for new users of puppet.

Thanks considering this again.
Cheers Bertil
