Puppet users - Dec 2011 - camptocamp / puppet-apache can't get it to work properly.

Hello,

I''m attempting to use the camptocamp / puppet-apache module on one of
my CentOS 6 hosts. I defined include apache on my node, imported the
modules, and then executed puppetd to run. This is what I see when I
run it:

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on
SERVER: No matching value for selector param ''undef'' at
/etc/puppet/
modules/apache/manifests/redhat.pp:85 on node

The message is a bit cryptic to me since line 85 is not really
referring to anything that''s substantially useful to my
troubleshooting process.

Given the lack of readme notes (most of it talks about auth), I don''t
think I have the full scope, of how I''m supposed to set up the module.
Has anyone else successfully deployed this module, let alone, on a
CentOS 5/6 host?

Thank you,
Will

Hi Will,

I don''t use the module but every time I see the word
''undef'' in an error
I think "a variable is used before being defined".

Line 80:

   file { "${apache::params::conf}/mods-available":
     ensure => directory,
     source => $lsbmajdistrelease ? {
       5 =>
"puppet:///modules/apache/etc/httpd/mods-available/redhat5/",
       6 =>
"puppet:///modules/apache/etc/httpd/mods-available/redhat6/",
     },
     recurse => true,
     mode => 644,
     owner => "root",
     group => "root",
     seltype => "httpd_config_t",
     require => Package["apache"],
   }

The only selector operator in there is:

source =>  $lsbmajdistrelease {

That is an LSB Fact. You can confirm that the Fact is available by 
running "facter -p | grep lsb" on your Puppet Agent system.

  IIRC you only get LSB Facts if you have the necessary LSB package, 
which is redhat-lsb on RHEL I think.

That was it; redhat-lsb package was missing, which begs the question,
why not require it in the module?

There is another error (Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with
error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type common::concatfilepart at /
etc/puppet/modules/apache/manifests/listen.pp:30), but I''m sure I can
figure it out.

Thanks!

I figured it out, I needed the puppet-common modules installed and
included.

Thank you for your help this morning.

"Invalid resource type" is exactly what it sounds. Consider the
following:

file { "/etc/passwd: }
woofwoof { "/tmp": }
service { "httpd": }

If you don''t have any extra Custom Types or Defined Types on your 
Master, then the "woofwoof" resource type would give you the same
error.

What you''ll want to do is clone down the ''common''
module, probably from
the same GitHub account, which I''d guess will provide the 
common::concatfilepart type (I know this because of the namespace of the 
error is common:: so that''s where the apache module is expecting to
find
concatfilepart). This will be an implementation of 
https://github.com/ripienaar/puppet-concat if you want to read up on 
what it actually is.
