Hi Experts, I need your help in below requirement. *Requirement* I need to create a file (xxx_logrotate.conf) with content as below
/xx/xx/xx.log { weekly copytruncate rotate 8 compress maxage 180 missingok } 2. Create the symlink for above create file xxx_logrotate.conf to /etc/logrotate.d/xxx_logrotate.conf *My approach* 1. I went ahead creating the file with using erb tempalte for adding the file content but when I create a new resource to create the symlik for the source and target. The puppet run fails with duplicate file resource file { 'xxx-log-rotation-config-file': ensure => 'present', path => '/xxx/conf/xxx_logrotate.conf', content => template('aaa/xxx_logrotate.conf.erb'), owner => 'root', group => 'root', } file { '/xxx/conf/xxx_logrotate.conf': ensure => 'link', target => '/etc/logrotate.d/xxx_logrotate.conf', require => File['xxx-log-rotation-config-file'], } The puppet run fails for above code with below error Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Duplicate declaration: File[/xxx/conf/mysql_logrotate.conf] is already declared in file /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/xxx/manifests/postinstall.pp:46; cannot redeclare at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/xxx/manifests/postinstall.pp:54 at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/xxx/manifests/postinstall.pp:54:3 Is there a better way of handling this without any issue using file resource? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
