My mind went huh? Seems like I'm not the only one ( http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/6ae174f50e5f7364 ) After 20 minutes of googling and Mr Google telling me there was a section on the forge in Chapter 8 of Pro Puppet, I read the examples and worked out that I need to install into modulepath as set in my puppetmaster config file modulepath seems to be the key text missing in the instructions & examples. It may be obvious for people who have been doing this, but first timers, its not quite there. So, if I was doing this, I'd have something like: [environment] modulepath = /path/to/environment/modules:/path/to/forge/modules $ cd /path/to/forge/modules $ puppet-module install puppetlabs-lvm [BTW this doesn't sit too well with me - seems to manual. I may end up creating an RPM/pkg for each module to install...] Hope this helps someone out there John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
