mysqld: unrecognized service

[PorridgeBear]

With a very basic declaration for MySQL Server:

  class { '::mysql::server':

    root_password    => 'foobar',

    override_options => { 'mysqld' => { 'max_connections' => '150' } }

  }

I am receiving a number of errors on puppet provisioning:

Error: Could not start Service[mysqld]: Execution of '/sbin/service mysqld start' returned 1: mysqld: unrecognized service

I am out of ideas and suggestions very welcome!

Not meaning to insult your intelligence but that error looks like mysqld init file is not in your /etc/init.d directory for the service command to start it. To make sure, log into one of the servers giving that error and run the command. I would guess that you would get the same error...

Puppet appears to be working as expected

I have a yellow dog:

Why would anyone foster a dog/cat?
I would rather cry watching them leave our home to live a life of happiness and joy in a loving home than cry because no one stepped up to help them and they died alone, frightened, and sad in a shelter.

Either the mysql service is not installed, or its service name is not 'mysqld'.  Note in particular that the name wanted is not necessarily the name of the daemon binary; it is the logical service name that you would use with the 'service' command (for example).  In your environment that might be something like "mysql" or "mysql-server".  If your system has the 'chkconfig' command, then you should be able to get a list of the names of installed services via 'chkconfig --list'.
