There is not after or before when puppet applies a manifest if there are not dependencies explicitly declared. In the example you have written mysql and apache will be applied in no particular order between them, but will be implemented both before any other resource in the WordPress class.
If you want mysql or apache implemented before the other, you can chain classes: Class['mysql']=>Class['apache'] This will apply mysql before apache, and only will implement apache if mysql goes OK. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
