Multiple vhosts, same document root

[b...@area536.com]

Hello Puppet users,

I'm working on a webserver module that needs to ensure directories for
document roots. I tried doing this by using file resources like so:

file { 'vhost-A':
ensure => 'directory',
path => '/var/www/sharedvhost',
...clipped for brevity...
}

file { 'vhost-B':
ensure => 'directory',
path => '/var/www/sharedvhost',
...clipped for brevity...
}

This, sadly, does not work. Even though I avoid the pitfall of declaring
two resources by the same name Puppet is clever enough to see that I'm
ensuring the same path in the end.

What I'd like the result to be, is the existence of /var/www/sharedvhost
with the ability for my vhost resource type to know about it but without
throwing errors.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello

stdlib package has a function ensure_resource that would allow you to create the directory as many times as needed. 

out of curiosity why not use the puppetlabs apache module? 

Cheers

So I managed to hack a fix for this:

# Hackish pair of execs to allow multiple sites with the same docroot

exec { "${name}_${webroot}":

  cwd     => '/',

  user    => 'root',

  path    => '/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/home/beheer/bin',

  command => "`which mkdir` -p ${webroot}",

  creates => $webroot,

  notify  => Exec["${name}_webroot_permissions"],

}

 

exec { "${name}_webroot_permissions":

  cwd         => '/',

  user        => 'root',

  path        => '/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/home/beheer/bin',

  command     => "`which chown` ${apache::user}:${apache::group} ${webroot}",

  refreshonly => true,

}

Any comments?
