Hi JCBollinger, Thank you so much for your suggestions.
Here goes my manifests:
#init.pp
class rabbitmq {
include rabbitmq::source, rabbitmq::service
}
#source.pp
class rabbitmq::source {
file { "/home/user": ensure => directory }
file { "/home/user/rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-2.8.7.tar.gz":
source =>
"puppet:///modules/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-2.8.7.tar.gz",
alias => "rabbitmq-source-tgz",
before => Exec["untar-rabbitmq-source"]
}
exec { "/bin/tar xzvf rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-2.8.7.tar.gz":
cwd => "/home/user/",
creates => "/home/user/rabbitmq_server-2.8.7",
alias => "untar-rabbitmq-source",
subscribe => File["rabbitmq-source-tgz"]
}
}
#service.pp
class rabbitmq::service {
exec { "rabbitmq_service":
environment => "HOME=/home/user",
command=> "/home/user/rabbitmq_server-2.8.7/sbin/rabbitmq-server
-detached ",
require => Class["rabbitmq::source"]
}
}
We dont have root permissions, as we are hosting it in the Cloud.
But when I do extract the unix.tar.gz in user mode without any root
permissions manually , and execute the ./sbin/rabbitmq-server, it gets
executed.
I really appreciate your suggestions and thoughts.
Thanks again,
Dominic.
