Hello, Could someone assist me with issues with puppet failing to run. When its started it fails. Here is part of the messages output and netstat http://pastebin.com/ajcf3Myd

ccowart: `sudo service puppetmaster restart` fails?

yes

if you're using foreman installer, the puppetmaster service isn't used, it runs in apache under passenger

ccowart: you might want to look at the paache logs for a clue, since it's returning 400

apache*

which log in particular?

ccowart[away]: here's why: 1 Dec 1 20:13:34 kt1 puppet: Error: Could not run: Address already in use - bind(2)

whatever port you're trying to bind to is already in use.

try: ss -peanut | grep 8140 and see what pid is already bound to 8140

get all those killed off and then restart apache and it should work.

If i have a class like ntp that i got through puppetforge and i want to use it all all servers except linux containers, do i have any other choice but to edit that class and create an if statement?

there is no way to exclude on a hostgroup in foreman if its applied to the parent hostgorup, right?
