Install on Frontend

Setup EPEL yum repo

On test ROCKS5 frontend, install puppet-server from EPEL repo.

Note that redhat.com is not reachable from aglt2.org. But EPEL repo should work due to mirror setup. First get the EPEL yum repo info from a reachable site:

rpm -i http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/fedora-epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm

This will setup the EPEL repo as enabled, disable it so not on by default for yum.

[root@msuroxi ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/$basearch
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=$basearch
failovermethod=priority
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL

Install puppet-server

Recommendation is to use epel-testing yum repo for RPM based systems.

Jan 2010, see 0.24.8-4 in epel and 0.25.3-1 in epel-testing.

Install epel-release-5-3 on system.

[root@msuroxi ~]# yum install puppet-server --enablerepo=epel-testing

Is this ok [y/N]: 

The installer leaves the puppet server off:

[root@cap ~]# chkconfig puppet --list
puppet          0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off

Install Puppet Client

yum install puppet --enablerepo=epel-testing
