My first module

[Nicolas lino]

Hello and sorry for my English.

I have my first module but I have a prblem:

My manifest:
#
#
#
class nginx {
  $nginx_conf = '/etc/nginx/conf.d'

  service { 'nginx':
    ensure     => running,
    enable     => true,
    hasrestart => true,
    require    => File['/etc/nginx/nginx.conf'],
    restart    => '/etc/init.d/nginx reload'
  }

  file { '/etc/nginx/nginx.conf':
    ensure  => latest,
    mode    => '0644',
    owner   => 'root',
    group   => 'root',
    source => "puppet:///modules/nginx/nginx.conf",
  }            ////////line22

  file { $nginx_conf:
    ensure  => directory,
    mode    => '0644',
    owner   => 'root',
    group   => 'root',
  }

}

Directory structure:
[root@v702uprod manifests]# tree /etc/puppet/modules/
/etc/puppet/modules/
├── API
└── nginx
    ├── files
    │   └── nginx.conf
    ├── manifests
    │   └── init.pp
    └── templates


The problem:
Error: Failed to apply catalog: Validation of File[/etc/nginx/nginx.conf] failed: You cannot specify more than one of content, source, target at /etc/puppet/m
odules/nginx/manifests/init.pp:22
Wrapped exception:
You cannot specify more than one of content, source, target



someone comes up with the problem???

Hi Nicolas,

You cannot use 'latest' for the file resource's ensure parameter. That value only applies to package resources. Puppet will always ensure that the file on a client matches whatever version of file exists at the path specified in the manifest. You should use one of the following values for the ensure parameter: file, directory, link, absent. 'present' is also supported, but I encourage you to avoid it and be explicit by specifying the type of file. In your case, 'file' is the correct choice.

Hi Nicolas,

Try changing the file's ensure from 'latest' to file.

You might also try using an existing module instead of reinventing the
wheel.
