Short Answer: You need to create a custom fact that would drive the decision to
create the new file resource.
I just went thru this issue and also performing an action based on whether or
not a package (RPM in my case) is installed.
Same answer to both.
For the existence of a file, you can do this:
#!/bin/bash
test -f /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php
rc=$?
echo "is_my_file_there=${rc}"
That goes into /etc/facter/facts.d/ as an executable shell script and then in
your manifest:
if $::is_my_file_there != 0 {
file { 'autoconfig.php':
.....
}
}

Subject: [Puppet Users] Run a File resource only if another file is missing
Hi,
I would like to run the File resource below:
file { 'autoconfig.php':
path => '/var/www/owncloud/config/autoconfig.php',
ensure => file,
owner => 'www-data',
group => 'www-data',
content => template("owncloud/autoconfig.php.erb"),
}
only when a specific file (in my case: /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php) is
missing. Is this somehow possible? Couldn't find my case in the puppet
documentation...
Thanks!
John
