How to install tomcat silenlty using puppet on Windows 7

[Maruti Gangumolu]

Hi,

I'm new user to puppet tool and I have few issues while installing tomcat silently on windows. this is my manifest file

package { 'tomcat-8' :
  ensure => present,
  source => 'C:/abc/Puppet/apache-tomcat-8.0.30.exe',
  install_options => ['/VERYSILENT'],
  description => 'Installing tomcat v8.0.30 on windows system',
 }

The issue is GUI application is popping up for installation and How can I avoid it?

Thanks,

Maruti.

I don't think this is a puppet issue. I suspect /VERISILENT is wrong. Try googling for tomcat and silent install. 

And read the docs too about package type on windows: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3.6/reference/resources_package_windows.html . I guess "tomcat-8" isn't correct.

Thanks Dirk! It worked. I'm still facing with module class file. When I'm invoking site.pp -> nodes.pp -> init.pp manifest files I'm getting an error that apache class is not found. Could you please help me with it?

# Manage apache tomcat v8 application server

class apache {
 package { 'Tomcat8' :
  ensure => present,
  source => 'C:/Maruti/Puppet/apache-tomcat-8.0.30.exe',
  install_options => ['/S','/D=C:\Maruti\Puppet\apache-tomcat-8'],

  description => 'Installing tomcat v8.0.30 on windows system', 
 }
}

Thanks,

Maruti.

Hi,

where did you create that `class apache`?

Ideally, you should put it into a custom module such as 'site' or
'local' and call it local::apache. It might even go into your profiles
module as profile::apache.

Have you completed the training VM course?

HTH,
Felix

Hi Felix,

I was able to resolve the issue by specifying the right modulepath option in the puppet apply command.

Thanks,

Maruti.
