Puppet users - Nov 2010 - problem with relative path

hi all ,


priorly , i deployed puppet as..

/etc/puppet/
               --/puppet.conf
               --/modules   (all modules here)
               --/manifests

i want to use  environment option to select module  according to
environment  given.
now  to use environment option , changerd puppet.conf .


# /etc/puppet/puppet.conf

[development]
    modulepath = /etc/puppetmodules/development/modules/
[production]
    modulepath = /etc/puppetmodules/production/modules/

In manifest there is an entry....like following..
.
.
.
file { "/var/lib/conf/my.xml":
    owner => ''root'',
    source => "puppet://puppet/<moduleanme>/my.xml" ,
  }
.
..
when i run  puppetd at client :

$ puppetd --test --debug  --environment  production

then  it is using file source
to /etc/puppet/modules/<modulename>/files/
but expected is ....
/etc/puppetmodules/production/modules/<modulename>/files/


what should i do, to choose file within module ?
means relative path of file?

and

how to use   source to specify  obsolute path like
"/etc/lib/puppet/myfile/my.xml"

file{ "/path/to/file":
source => ........,
}

thanks in advance :)

What version is the puppetmaster? I faintly remember that "modules"
used
to be a component of the path at some point...

This is actually supposed to work as you described. Silly question: Have
you reloaded the master configuration?

You just specify it. But it''s not a path on the puppetmaster then. The
source is local to the system running puppetd.

To use a file on your puppetmaster, use "content => file(...)"
instead.

Cheers,
Felix
