I don't quite follow what you're trying to do there. Your module's name is "adhoc" (it *cannot* be "adhoc::pkg::dan" because the colon (:) is not among the characters allowed in module or class names). With that being the case, the subdirectories of the module layout belong under adhoc/, not deeper in the tree. In particular, a class named adhoc::pkg::dan::init belongs in file adhoc/manifests/pkg/dan/init.pp. I'm not a fan of such a deep naming structure, but that would work. Note also that class names of the form <module name>::init are reserved, but if you *do* have a deeper tree then you can have classes whose last name segment is "init" at deeper levels. > > So I assumed with the init.pp file this would work? > class adhoc::pkg::dan { > > > } > > No. If /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/adhoc/pkg were in your modulepath then you could put the main class of module "dan" in the file you name, i.e. class dan { } That's the only way it works with your placement of the "manifests" directory, but DON'T DO THAT. Setting up a modulepath in containing pairs of directories where one is nested inside the other is confusing and unnecessary, not to mention that it triggers bugs in some versions of Puppet. > I also tried just using the module name prior to the manifest folder but > that didn't work as well. > If you want a class named adhoc::pkg::dan then it belongs in a file named adhoc/manifests/pkg/dan.pp, relative to some folder in your modulepath. The init.pp filename is special only for a module main class, and therefore only at the top level of the module.
