[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,
}
}

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.

Re: [Puppet Users] struggling with precedence/declarative language
I believe the error is saying that using: mode => 755, inside the exec doesn''t make sense. It''s not a file resource, exec doesn''t specify a mode. -- Nathan Clemons http://www.livemocha.com The worlds largest online language learning community On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 11:01 AM, Craig White <craig.white@ttiltd.com>wrote:> 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, > } > } > > -- > Craig White ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ craig.white@ttiltd.com > 1.800.869.6908 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ www.ttiassessments.com > > Need help communicating between generations at work to achieve your desired > success?

It didn''t solve the issue though Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

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.
