I think that the heat must be affecting me because this seems so simple but it's eluded me for too long now.
What I am trying to do is create a symlink from one directory to another AFTER the package is installed. The error: err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid parameter mode at /etc/puppet/modules/firebird/manifests/service.pp:17 on node ubuntu2.ttinet Which I gather means that it can't create the symbolic link to a directory that doesn't exist yet but it could be my syntax and I have checked/rechecked/simplified but still... class firebird::install { package { "firebird2.1-classic": name => "firebird2.1-classic", ensure => installed, # require => Class["firebird::configure"], notify => Class["firebird::service", "firebird::configure"], } package { "firebird2.1-dev": name => "firebird2.1-dev", ensure => installed, } } class firebird::service { service { "firebird2.1-classic": ensure => running, hasstatus => true, hasrestart => true, enable => true, } exec { "Create symlink for /var/fbdata": path => "/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin", environment => "HOME=/root", user => "root", group => "root", mode => 755, command => "/bin/ln -s /var/lib/firebird/2.1/data /var/fbdata", refresh => false, # unless => "/bin/ls -l /var/fbdata", logoutput => on_failure, } } -- Craig White ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ craig.wh...@ttiltd.com 1.800.869.6908 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ www.ttiassessments.com Need help communicating between generations at work to achieve your desired success?
