Template problems

[Ugo Bellavance]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to do something but I always get an error.

Here is my code:

<% if userotatelogs == false -%>

    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/<%= name %>/access.log combined

<% else -%>

    CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs <%= if @rotatelogsuselocaltime then '-l' end %> <%= if @rotatelogsforceopen then '-f' end %> <%= if @rotatelogsuselink then "-L /var/log/httpd/<%= name %>/access.log" end %> /var/log/httpd/<%= name %>/access.log.%Y-%m-%d <%= rotatelogstime %>" combined

<% end -%>

The problematic part seems to be the part in yellow.

Here is the error I get:

compile error /etc/puppet/modules/apache/templates/vhost-proxy_w_access.conf.erb:70: syntax error, unexpected $undefined, expecting kEND ...; _erbout.concat "/access.log\" end %> /var/log/httpd/"; _er...                               ^ /etc/puppet/modules/apache/templates/vhost-proxy_w_access.conf.erb:76: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ')' ; _erbout

I tried with single quotes, as <%= name %>, <%= @name %>, <%= $name %>, but it always fails.

Thanks,

Ugo

You can't nest the <% %> inside another. Try:

<%= if @rotatelogsuselink then "-L /var/log/httpd/#{@name}/access.log" end %>

Everything inside is normal Ruby and that's how interpolation works there

It works!

You guys are better than most vendor's service contract!

Thanks a lot!

Just a thought, where should I have looked for that? Is it pure Ruby?

yeah pretty much, there are template docs but this I guess is just confusing.

If you're on recent puppet you should try epp templates, they are written
using the puppet language so less context changing

2.7.  Probably out of luck, as it is so old.
