I have a group of web servers being load balanced. I have 4 types of servers
all build from the same image.
When I build the image I forgot to clear out one of the sym links from
sites-enabled to sites-available. This is causing problems with the web
servers. I have tried to have puppet remove the link but have had little
success. I have tried the following:
file { "/opt/nginx/sites-enabled/<site file": ensure => absent }
This will remove a file if it is there but not this link.
What am I missing? I have googled to get the above which I thought would
remove the link.
Thanks,
John

Does that parameter actually end up in the catalog for the node(s) you are testing? If so, then what message, if any, does the Puppet agent log about it? Crazy idea: does the link target exist? If not, then what happens if you create it first? It would be a bug if Puppet won''t remove broken links, but I can imagine a couple of ways that such a bug could creep in.
