Hello all, I''m vagrant user completely new to puppet but enjoying it so far! I would like to install phppgadmin with it''s dependencies (postgres 9.1, apache 2, php 5) and be able to access it on http://localhost/phppgadmin/with postgres root user. It is a task far too complicated for me until I learn more about puppet so if you can help me do it or find an existing module or at least a thorough tutorial so I can do it myself it would be great!

You *have to* go through all the documentation online, and try examples, become aware of the differences between resources, variables, modules... The time consumed for all these tasks will depend hugely on how fast of a learner are you and do you have anyone at hand who can show you basics. Puppet is as simple as it can be, for the task it''s designed for, but nevertheless you have to invest some time in it. So your starting point should be: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/ Go through sections: Resources and the RAL Variables, Conditionals, and Facts Modules and Classes (Part One) Templates After that test your configurations on a dev system. Test test test. Try and make error, then retry and fail again. Also note that if you continue to use puppet, you will probably re-write your manifests and classes couple of times along the way in the first 6 months of using it. If you want to do a one-time-task, and don''t intend to use puppet extensively in the future, then I recommend writing a shell script :) And to address your main issue, installig pgadmin should be easy. If you don''t plan to do some fancy stuff it will come down to this (on CentOS for example): package {''httpd'': ensure => present } service {''httpd'': ensure => running, enable => true, require => Package[''httpd''], } package {''phppgadmin'': ensure => present, } package {''phpPgAdmin'': ensure => present, notify => Service[''httpd''], } And that''s about it. But beware, you must have an idea about what are you doing, because sooner or later it *will* byte you in the ass. So please, don''t even think about skipping the learning curve. -- Jakov Sosic www.srce.unizg.hr -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

For example: https://github.com/amaia/rails-starter-box/blob/master/puppet/manifests/default.pp this is the main file in setup you''ve pointed out. It uses three different classes that other people (mainly puppetlabs) wrote. That classes install packages, set up user for database, etc. Now to add pgadmin to that system you have to choose if you want to add it from source, or from I presume Ubuntu deb packages. Also, you have to manage apache somehow, and if you plan to stay consistent with the current setup than it''s problably the best idea to use puppetlabs apache modue: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apache Take a look at how vagrant added puppetlabs-postgresl module (it''s linked in /etc/puppet/modules dir), and how he uses it, and read documentation of puppetlabs-apache module and try to get "Welcome" page (simple apache installation) with that module, and then go on from there towards pgadmin.
