Platform Independent Manifest to install and run apache2 or httpd

I need to write a single manifest as install-apache.pp
that will install
apache2
package if it is Debian based system or
httpd
package if it is RedHat based system
Below is the code; this works in CentOS but does not work in Ubuntu.
case $facts['os']['name'] {
'Debian': {
package { 'apache2':
ensure => installed,
}
service { 'apache2':
ensure => running,
}
}
'RedHat': {
package { 'httpd' :
ensure => installed,
}
service { 'httpd':
ensure => running,
}
}
}
So I made some changes as below, but am not sure why it is not working.
case $operatingsystem {
'Debian': {
package { 'apache2':
ensure => installed,
} ->
service { 'apache2':
ensure => running,
enable => true,
}
}
'RedHat': {
package { 'httpd' :
ensure => installed,
} ->
service { 'httpd':
ensure => running,
enable => true,
}
}
}
Command used to execute:
puppet apply install-apache.pp --logdest /root/output.log
puppet puppet-enterprise puppetlabs-apache

Have you considered using the puppetlabs/apache module, available from the Forge? I mean, reinventing the wheel is great and all, but -- actually, no, it's not that great.

The problem here is that you are making use of the fact $facts['os']['name']
which is assigned the specific operating system of the distribution and not the family of the distribution. That fact will be assigned Ubuntu
on Ubuntu and not Debian
. The fact needs to be fixed to $facts['os']['family']
, which will be assigned Debian
on Ubuntu.
You can also make use of selectors to improve this a bit more in addition to the fix. It is also recommended to construct a dependency of the service
on the package
in that manifest to ensure proper ordering. Refreshing would also be helpful.
With those fixes and improvements in mind, your final manifest would look like:
$web_service = $facts['os']['family'] ? {
'RedHat' => 'httpd',
'Debian' => 'apache2',
default => fail('Unsupported operating system.'),
}
package { $web_service:
ensure => installed,
}
~> service { $web_service:
ensure => running,
enable => true,
}
Thanks Matt......
