[Puppet Users] struggling with precedence/declarative language
I think that the heat must be affecting me because this seems so simple but
it's eluded me for too long now.
What I am trying to do is create a symlink from one directory to another AFTER
the package is installed.
The error:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Invalid parameter mode at /etc/puppet/modules/firebird/manifests/service.pp:17
on node ubuntu2.ttinet
Which I gather means that it can't create the symbolic link to a directory that
doesn't exist yet but it could be my syntax and I have
checked/rechecked/simplified but still...
class firebird::install {
package { firebird2.1-classic:
name = firebird2.1-classic,
ensure = installed,
#require = Class[firebird::configure],
notify = Class[firebird::service, firebird::configure],
}
package { firebird2.1-dev:
name = firebird2.1-dev,
ensure = installed,
}
}
class firebird::service {
service { firebird2.1-classic:
ensure = running,
hasstatus = true,
hasrestart = true,
enable = true,
}
exec { Create symlink for /var/fbdata:
path= /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin,
environment = HOME=/root,
user= root,
group = root,
mode= 755,
command = /bin/ln -s /var/lib/firebird/2.1/data /var/fbdata,
refresh = false,
#unless = /bin/ls -l /var/fbdata,
logoutput = on_failure,
}
}

Maybe exec resources, like your Create symlink ...
do not want a mode parameter?

Do you have a root firebird class? In your init.pp for the firebird module, you
might consider adding something like this to create the dependency order you're
looking at.
Class['firebird::install'] - Class['firebird::service']
All items in the firebird::install class will happen before the
firebird::service class.
class firebird::install {
package { firebird2.1-classic:
name = firebird2.1-classic,
ensure = installed,
#require = Class[firebird::configure],
notify = Class[firebird::service, firebird::configure],
}
package { firebird2.1-dev:
name = firebird2.1-dev,
ensure = installed,
}
}
class firebird::service {
service { firebird2.1-classic:
ensure = running,
hasstatus = true,
hasrestart = true,
enable = true,
}
Also, does the service start require the symlink to exist before you start the
service? you might want to consider adding a dependency here as well. Maybe a
'require = Exec['Create symlink for /var/fbdata'],'
exec { Create symlink for /var/fbdata:
path= /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin,
environment = HOME=/root,
user= root,
group = root,
mode= 755,
command = /bin/ln -s /var/lib/firebird/2.1/data /var/fbdata,
refresh= false,
#unless = /bin/ls -l /var/fbdata,
logoutput = on_failure,
}
}
Any reason this is an Exec as opposed to using the file resource to accomplish
this for you?
file { '/var/fbdata':
ensure = link,
target = '/var/lib/firebird/2.1/data
}

duh, of course it is irrelevant and I removed it - don't know what I was
thinking.
It didn't solve the issue though

Re: [Puppet Users] struggling with precedence/declarative language
Did the error change, at least? If so, can you post the new error?

Re: [Puppet Users] struggling with precedence/declarative language
FInally solved it via 'require = Class['firebird::install'] to force that to
run prior to firebird::service
which leads me to a new question but I will start a new thread because I can
use a much simpler example which has the same problem.
Thanks
