how to use this module?

Hi,

how to use this module? I download it but I don't know where to start. Can you give an example?

Thanks.

Thank you. I figured it out:

• Import the module import trocla in manifests/modules.pp
• On the master node, include the module include trocla::config
• On the client, use the method trocla (read the source code for details:D)

I have to clean up some code in trocla/manifests/master.pp, as in my environment, puppet master and pupet client on the master node use different ruby/rvm setup and the puppet daemon can't install any rubygems.

If you have your modulepath properly setup and named the checked out module also trocla, you don't need to do the imports. Generally I advice you to not use import, it should be seen as deprecated and everything within puppet should work with the autoloading feature. See http:https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#importing-manifests

All the other steps are fine.

Thank you for the tips :) I am a Puppet's old man :P

Hi,

I am still in kindergarten, well not really, although my puppet skill level is.. :)

So I might have installed everything correctly, yet I do get the following error:

Failed to parse template mysql/root/my.cnf.erb: can't convert false into Hash at /etc/puppet/modules/mysql/manifests/server/base.pp

Can you lend me a hand with this?

You seem to have a problem with your template "mysql.root.my.cnf.erb". Sharing your template would help /me to know what is your error.

Btw, you would create new ticket and/or find support in puppet channels -- which are often faster...
