[Puppet Users] Re: Parameter alias failed
Den,
It was the second problem, not reverting all of my code. I still had a
drupal6::site with the alias parameter (which I renamed to not
conflict with the meta params to sitealias) set to
'scisoc.uwaterloo.ca'. After I changed alias to sitealias puppet ran
fine. It was hard to pin down from the error messages especially since
it seemed that the error would just associate itself to a random
resource within the drupal6 class and not on anyone thing in
specific.
Thanks for being a sounding board, it was appreciated!
Cheers,

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Parameter alias failed
Without seeing your code, does the user 'scisoc.uwaterloo.ca' already exist in
your manifest? Or maybe you didn't fully revert your changes? Also puppet
doesn't revert changes made to nodes unless you tell it how.
Other tip would be to try virtualizing the resource and realize it, or striping
out what you are trying to do into a smaller class so you can test what you are
trying to do works. If it doesn't copy that code so we can see what you are
trying to do.
Cheers,

[Puppet Users] Re: Parameter alias failed
Sorry, I missed that part. Site is a define. Looking at the logs I'm
also getting a different message at random:
Could not run Puppet configuration client: Parameter alias failed:
Munging failed for value "scisoc.uwaterloo.ca" in class alias: Cannot
alias Mysql::Database-user[scisoc_drupal6-monitoring] to
scisoc.uwaterloo.ca; resource Mysql::Database-
user[scisoc.uwaterloo.ca] already exists
I only get one error logged per puppet run so I hadn't seen this other
message until now. Any idea what it could mean?
I'm still not sure why this problem would persist after reverting the
puppet config for this client back to the state before it was
happening, something seems to be preventing the client from getting
back to the state it was in before the change that caused it was made.
