Trouble with file in module 'source => "puppet://...'"

[Charly Mathieu]

Hello,

I'm trying to write my first module, but I have a problem with a conf file I want to be managed with puppet.

It's an apache2 vhost file, so the name is "www.example.com", my ressource is like :

file { 'a2site' :
ensure => present,
path => '/etc/apache2/sites-available/www.example.com',
source => "puppet://modules/websitemodule/${conf_file}/etc/apache2/sites-available/www.example.com",
require => File['a2conf'],
}

When I apply it, I got : 

err: /Stage[main]/Websitemodule::Initwordpress/File[a2site]: Could not evaluate: getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet://modules/websitemodule//etc/apache2/sites-available/www.example.com: getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution at /etc/puppet/modules/websitemodule/manifests/init.pp:53

 

I think puppet understand that it has to look on the internet, with the protocol "puppet", because it reads the ".com" at the end.

How can I fix this ?

Thank you :)

Hi Charly,

I think you're just missing a 3rd '/' in your source, i.e. it should be:

puppet:///modules/websitemodule/${conf_file}/etc/apache2/sites-available/www.example.com"

Here, 'puppet://' is the protocol and the next '/' is for the root of the puppet file server.

Regards,

Matt.

It's possible to serve files from other places than the Puppetmaster
using this syntax. Note the two forward slashes.
puppet://servername/path/to/file

In your case you want the file to come from the local server, so you
need three forward slashes to indicate that as in following.
puppet:///local/path/to/file

Ah yes ! Thank you, that makes sense actually, I didn't realized it before.

Thank to both of you, have a nice day :)
