perhaps you should add a check :onlyif cannot find pattern(dns_search_path) in resolv.conf,then puppet actions. can you paste your full code . I didnot see the define or param class or (custom type?)line_replace? thank you~~~ >From China mainland[?] On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 1:01 PM, Giovanni Bo

you should be able to do something like: call_function(:defined, 'Foo['bar']') just keep in mind that the defined function (or anything for resource detection) is parse order dependent which can lead to unexpected results. On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 9:04 PM, Matt wrote: > I've been searching and h

OK, I did some more testing and while the error message is different with the selector using if/then doesn't really fix the issue. The underlying problem is that testing a hash with an undefined LHS doesn't work the way I'd expect it to. It should return false, but as long as the hash itself exis

If you want to enable the repositories on a per-package basis as was shown in the examples (with the --enablerepo flag), then you'll definitely want to watch & vote for #4113[1]. If you want to have the repositories always enabled, then you should be able to do that through the yum configuration.

Re: [Puppet Users] How do I enable repositories and install packages

The package resource type will allow you to install packages via Yum, but does not (last I checked) support specifying repos to enable/disable (which I'd dearly love if it was added). Which means you either get to write your own extension to package to add that functionality, or use exec. -- Nath

Passenger setup is annoyingly complicated since you're having to set up Apache, configure Ruby as an application server on top of that and then install the Puppetmaster on top of that. To add to the fun, Apache configs are different between distributions, it's different between releases of Puppet
