puppet-tomcat

[rohitbharti275]

Hi ,

I have cloned this and it got created in my /etc/puppet/modules/puppet-tomcat and now i have changed my site.pp under /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp to

node default {
class { 'tomcat':
      version     => 6,
      sources     => true,
      sources_src => 'http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/',
    }
}

i am getting syntax error while doing so please refer the screen shot below i have only modified the site.pp residing at /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp and my puppet-tomcat module is under /etc/puppet/modules/puppet-tomcat. I am running puppet agent -t on my puppetagent following is the error

Hi Request you to look into this

Could you try to rename /etc/puppet/modules/puppet-tomcat to /etc/puppet/modules/tomcat? Pupper autoloading can not work if you name the directory puppet-tomcat.

[rohitbharti275]

Hi,

I renamed it to /etc/puppet/modules/tomcat and my site.pp under /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp contains

node default {
class { 'tomcat':
version => 6,
sources => true,
sources_src => 'http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/',
}
}

still i am getting the error

It looks like you don't have puppetlabs-stdlib, did you get all dependencies?

[rohitbharti275]

dependencies? like I have cloned folder from github directly so do i need to install some dependencies apart from what I got from github

[mcanevet]

Do you known anything about Puppet and Puppet modules? If no, I suggest you to look into that first. I really think your problem is not getting this module work, but more getting you Puppet repository set up. I'm closing this for now, feel free to reopen if you really find a problem with this module.

Hi I do have puppetlabs-stdlib under /etc/puppet/modules/stdlib. Please refer the screenshot

[rohitbharti275]

Yes I have installed sample packages using puppet copying files and editing files now when i am trying to use this module for installing Tomcat i am facing the issue because I do have stdlib under my /etc/puppet/modules/stdlib same location where my tomcat module is

[mcanevet]

The error message stating that validate_re is not available let me think that you have either a problem in your puppet setup or you don't have the proper version of puppetlabs-stdlib as this function is part of this package. In any case the problem comes from this module per se.

Ok, Thanks for your quick response I am a beginner in puppet and want to explore more so i have changed my /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp as node default { class { 'tomcat': version => 6, sources => true, sources_src => 'http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/', } } means i am keeping my site.pp under /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp and my module is under /etc/puppet/modules/tomcat and when I run /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp using puppet agent -t from my agent i get the different error now please refer the screen shot

Here I am completely clueless so seeking your support what i might be doing wrong because puppet version i am using is 3.4.3 and after reading from /etc/puppet/modules/tomcat/README am following the steps and changing the /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp and execute it on agent

[mcanevet]

Again, a problem in your setup, you don't have all the dependencies for this module. Here the error message is quite explicit about that it can't find the archive::download resource type which is in one of the dependencies of this module. I really suggest you to learn a little bit about Puppet... Your (current) problem is definitely not due to a bug in this module.
