I've run this script on a clean CentOS5 vm, and am getting the following dependency issues:

[root@btg-centos5 ~]# puppet /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp

Hey,

I am getting this error:

Parameter unless failed: can't convert nil into String

while I am trying to run the script.
I havent used puppet before, but I guess I am following the instructions correctly.

Can you let me know, what is missing here please?

Hello, I am trying to install gitorios with your guide, as stated in the documentation by executing this line:

puppet /etc/puppet/sites.pp

But what comes next:

warning: Could not retrieve fact fqdn
Could not parse for environment production: Could not find file /etc/puppet/sites.pp

Y se queda allí.

Follow also what this blog: http://ivascucristian.com/archives/how-toinstall-gitorious-on-centos-5/

And when you run out following:

puppet /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp

warning: Could not retrieve fact fqdn
Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at '=>'; expected '}' at /etc/puppet/modules/gitorious/manifests/init.pp:196

I'm using Centos 5.4

Best regards.
