Vagrant / Puppet --- provide: change the current one: failed to install "present on make": there is no such file or directory

Question

I use Vagrant and Puppet to install Apache and PHP on Ubuntu. However, during vagrant up I get the error message below. I think the path to the templates is correct, then why the error?

I use the setting here , modified to ensure that apt-get update is executed first

Error

←[1;35merr: /Stage[main]/Php/File[/etc/php5/apache2/apc.ini]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Could not set 'present on ensure: No such file or dir ectory - /etc/php5/apache2/apc.ini.puppettmp_6187 at /tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules -0/php/manifests/init.pp:44←[0m

Patterns

• /modules/php/templates/etc/php5/conf.d/apc.ini.erb
• /modules/php/templates/etc/php5/conf.d/php.ini.erb

Answer 1

Are you sure the package ["php5"] created the path for you?

It seems to me that he is complaining because the / etc / php 5 / apache2 folder does not exist when he tries to create files from templates.

If you want to drop your puppeteer side, you can find the doll process id and run:

 strace -v -f -ff -p $PID -o strace.log 

Then start the agent again and go to puppetmaster and run:

 grep "etc/php5/apache2" strace.log.* 

If the puppet is normal, you will see a read call without errors, otherwise you will see that the puppeteer receives "there is no such file or directory" when you try to open the file. Anyway, like you, I don’t think that the problem with calling the template, I don’t care

Answer 2

Just make sure the / etc / php 5 / apache2 directory exists.

 file { [ "/etc", "/etc/php5", "/etc/php5/apache2" ]: ensure => directory, before => File['/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini'], } 

or slightly less puppet-ish

 exec { "ensure /etc/php5/apache2": command => "mkdir -p /etc/php5/apache2", creates => "/etc/php5/apache2" } 

All this is probably due to assumptions about the execution order.
