Puppet users - Nov 2011 - lighttpd / modifying variables in templates?

I''m trying to get puppet to manage my lighttpd install, but I use
vhosts.
 The line I''d normally use is something like this:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "site\.example\.tld" {
        server.document-root            = "/var/www/site.example.tld"
        accesslog.filename              = "/var/log/lighttpd/
site.example.tld-access.log"
}


I would like to be able to pass the template a single variable, the domain
name, and have it inserted into the 3 locations above.  The only problem is
the first one needs to have the escape characters inserted.  Is there
anyway to modify the variable in the template to add those slashes or am I
stuck passing the information in twice?

Thanks

Hi,

you can use this function:
http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.7/String.html#method-i-gsub

Untested template code:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "<%= domain.gsub(/\./,
''\.'') %>" {
   server.document-root = "/var/www/<%= domain %>"
   accesslog.filename   = "/var/log/lighttpd/<%=
domain%>-access.log"
}

HTH,
Felix
