Puppet users - Jun 2013 - Executing a script after creating vhosts with create_resources

Hello

I''d love a bit of advice in terms of how I should best go about this.

I am creating a bunch of vhosts, their definitions are stored in json
(I''m using heira) that json file will be generated from data held on
another server. I''m just using the puppetlabs apache module and
create_resources to then generate all the vhosts and their directories etc.
I''m then doing the same to create associated mysql databases.

  $sites = hiera_hash(''apache_vhosts'')
  create_resources(''apache::vhost'',$sites)
  $db = hiera_hash(''mysql_db'')
  create_resources(''mysql::db'',$db)

What I need to know however is when a vhost and db has been created. So I can
kick off a PHP script to deploy a bunch of files and call our API to send out
emails.

Running with a standard Puppet Master and node server setup. Puppet 3.2.1 on
Debian Wheezy.

Thanks!

Rachel

I''m pretty sure you''ll have to do a custom define to make that
happen, which should play well with create_resources.  You could also play with
a single notify used by all of the resources that have been created…

thanks for the pointer, I mostly wanted to make sure I wasn''t missing
anything obvious. Still pretty new to Puppet.

Just in case anyone else reads this thread I wound up creating a custom define
as a wrapper around vhost and database creation and using that for
create_resources. Inside that I just make sure all the things are created before
the execute command and it seems to be working nicely :)
