No problem. You're wellcome! And you're not silly. It's just a common pitfall. If you define a resource within a function, this resource will be re-defined with every function call. And since resources have to be unique, the second call to the function will lead to a duplicate definition.
So that's expected behavior. The only thing that could be improved is the error message which does not lead to the real problem. Maybe the Puppet guys could work on this in the future ;-) Cheers Bernd > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: puppet-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:puppet- > us...@googlegroups.com] Im Auftrag von Sans > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 12.
