Description

To speed debugging of rules I want to run puppetmasterd under my own userid so that it has access to my SVN tree’s containing my recipes as well as my files/templates.

Under ~/.puppet I have created a puppet.conf to override default locations.

Started puppermasterd some of these values are not being picked up.

I’m running puppet-server-0.25.3-2.el5 from the epel repository on Centos 5.4 64bit.

Based on the config it shouldn’t be using /var/puppet/run for the pid file.

The generated config from running @puppetmaster genconfig@ also shows that some of the variables aren’t being picked up from the configuration file correctly.

If you get a chance, could you try testing with 0.25.4rc3 to see if the problem still exists?

I’m also going to try to replicate.

The problem is that your puppet.conf file is malformed (probably the “user stevene” line, but there may be other issues). If you look at the start of the output you provided, you’ll see part of the stack trace where it failed parsing your settings. Shortly before the part you quoted you should see information about the line(s) that it choked on.

Thanks Markus.

Confirmed it was the “user stevene” line which should have been “user = stevene”.
