Original bug report: http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/86 You can work around it with a hackish exec: exec { "mkdir -p /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys": } then tack that exec as a require to your file "/usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa/ 2.0/keys": .r' p.s. puppet is smart enough to handle adding the dependency between the directory and the file within that directory so you don't need that one require you already have. Also you can save yourself some typing by doing: file { "/dir": ensure => directory, mode => 644; "/dir/file": content => "blah"; } just note the ";" between items. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
