---------------------------------------- Bug #7893: Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate': Cannot manage files of type socket https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7893 Author: Tim Hughes Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Matt Robinson Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.8 Keywords: recurse, owner, group, socket Branch: Using a slightly modified version of the code from "Pro Puppet" I am getting the following error: Jun 13 01:36:33 media puppet-agent[18196]: (/Stage[main]/Mysql::Config/File[mysql_data_dir]) Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate': Cannot manage files of type socket The file resource in mysql/manifests/config.pp is as follows: file { "mysql_data_dir" : path => $mysql::params::data_directory, group => "mysql", owner => "mysql", recurse => true, require => File["my.cnf"], } And for this particular $operatingsystem (Fedora) the value for $data_directory in mysql/manifests/params.pp is : $data_directory = "/var/lib/mysql" By default mysql on a Fedora system places its mysql.sock file in the data directory but it appears when a you try and change the permissions recursively, puppet doesn't know what to do with the socket file. I can place the socket file elsewhere as a work around but I believe that puppet needs to ignore socket files when changing permissions.
