hello list!
I am having a little trouble with one of my manifests. in my apache
module I attempt to start the httpd service, but it complains that
www-data is a 'bad user'.
This is what happens if I attempt to start httpd by hand after the
initial puppet run:
[root@puppet yum.repos.d]# service httpd start
Starting httpd: httpd: bad user name www-data
[FAILED]
It's rather confusing because I do have www-date defined in a file
called group.pp
[root@puppet yum.repos.d]# ls -l /etc/puppet/manifests/groups/group.pp
-rw-r--r-- 1 puppet puppet 3453 May 10 15:41
/etc/puppet/manifests/groups/group.pp
Which has the user defined like this:
group {
..
group { 'www-data':
ensure => 'present',
gid => '33'
}
..
}
It is included in my site.pp file
# site.pp
import "template"
import "nodes"
import "classes/*"
import "groups/*"
import "users/*"
import "os/*"
And I am sure to include it in a class called centos
class centos {
include yumrepos
include group
..
}
which is itself included in a base class template:
node basenode {
include sshd
include centos
}
node default inherits basenode {}
node webserver inherits basenode {
include apache
}
and this is how the node is defined:
node 'puppet.acadaca.net' inherits webserver {
}
I define the httpd service in
/etc/puppet/modules/apache/manifests/init.pp this way:
service { "httpd":
enable => "true",
ensure => "running",
hasrestart => "true",
hasstatus => "true",
require => [$requires,Group["www-data"]],
}
This is how the puppet run looks:
[root@puppet yum.repos.d]# puppetd -t

'/sbin/service httpd start' returned 1: at
/etc/puppet/modules/apache/manifests/init.pp:260
notice: Finished catalog run in 3.49 seconds
If I add the www-data user by hand:
[root@puppet yum.repos.d]# useradd www-data -g www-data
Creating mailbox file: File exists
useradd: warning: the home directory already exists.
Not copying any file from skel directory into it.
The httpd service starts by hand just fine:
[root@puppet yum.repos.d]# service httpd start
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
And if I stop the httpd service and let puppet try to start it at this
point..it WORKS!!
[root@puppet yum.repos.d]# puppetd -t

How can I automate the creation of the www-data user so that the
service will start automatically? Thank you for your kind attention to
this issue!
