Based on the documentation I had thought that this:
file { "/var/puppet":
ensure => "/var/lib/puppet"
}
should create a symlink /var/puppet which points to the directory
/var/lib/puppet
It doesn''t seem to be working :-/
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Please remember that an email is just like a postcard; it is not
confidential nor private nor secure and can be read by many other people
than the intended recipient. A postcard can be read by anyone at the mail
sorting office and expecting what is written on it to be private and secret
is not realistic. Please hold no higher expectation of email.
If you need to send confidential information in an email you need to use
encryption. PGP is Pretty good for this.

That''s rather odd. I just tested it with 0.24.7 on my workstation, and the "ensure => [link target]" syntax works for me. Do you see anything odd in the logs? -Josh On Mar 9, 2009, at 1:10 PM, Steve Wray wrote:> > Based on the documentation I had thought that this: > > file { "/var/puppet": > ensure => "/var/lib/puppet" > } > > > should create a symlink /var/puppet which points to the directory > /var/lib/puppet > > It doesn''t seem to be working :-/ > > Any ideas? > > Thanks! > > > -- > Please remember that an email is just like a postcard; it is not > confidential nor private nor secure and can be read by many other > people > than the intended recipient.

I always prefer the syntax
file {"/var/puppet":
ensure => symlink,
target => "/var/lib/puppet"
}
as it seems to me to be more accurate in describing what I want it to
do. It should achieve the same thing though.

Thanks for verifying that I have the correct syntax, it pointed to another error I''d made.
