Hi All,
Sorry if this is a really remedial question, but I cannot find the answer
to my problem anywhere else. I am trying to learn puppet, and am creating
a basic ntp module, that should install the ntp package (Which it does),
then copy the ntp.conf file (Which it does not) and then start the service
(Which it does). Could someone please look at the init.pp file below and
tell me what I am doing wrong? Is there a line or a parameter that I
missed in there somewhere?
It is worth noting that both the client and server are Ubuntu 12.10.
Thanks :)
class ntp {
package { ''ntp'':
ensure => latest,
}
file { ''/etc/ntp.conf'':
ensure => file,
source => ''puppet:///modules/ntp/ntp.conf'',
owner => root,
group => root,
mode => 0444,
require => Package[''ntp''],
notify => Service[''ntp''],
}
service { ''ntp'':
ensure => ''running'',
enable => ''true'',
}
}

Where does the file exist on the filesystem?
This is somewhat counter-intuitive until you do it a few times. The
source path in the manifest is:
puppet:///modules/ntp/ntp.conf
but in the filesystem, the file should be under
modules/ntp/files/ntp.conf
You may have missed the "files" in there on the filesystem. At first
glance the URL is just a straight path, but Puppet treats it more like
a list of arguments that it processes.
Also, you might find clues in the log files on the master, probably in
syslog somewhere.

Thanks for the reply :) I got it to work by adding a path to the fileserver.conf file as follows: path /etc/puppet/files and put my config file in there, but if I am reading your reply correctly, I can just create a folder called files in /etc/puppet/modules/ntp, and it will be read when the module is loaded, correct? This way I can keep my config files with their respective modules and not need a separate folder for them? Thanks so much for your reply :) Brigzzy On Thursday, 17 January 2013 21:21:57 UTC-8, Brian Mathis wrote:> > Where does the file exist on the filesystem? > > This is somewhat counter-intuitive until you do it a few times.

Correct. When you use that syntax in the source parameter, it looks for the file specified, in a directory called files, in the module specified.

Yes, I was assuming you were using modules, which I suppose I should
have clarified. As you are just getting started, I would recommend
that you start with modules right away, as they make things easier,
and are also the recommended way to do things.
Here is an overview of modules:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/modules_fundamentals.html
which the Learning Puppet series also covers:

Perfect, that did exactly what I was looking for :) Thanks All!
