Ok! Gothca. Actually not to deflect blame, but I didn't author this
manifest. I downloaded it from puppet forge for the newrelic module.
But the real problem I found out was that they duplicated the file
definition in two separate manifests. It was listed in:
Class: newrelic::php
environments/production/modules/newrelic/manifests/php.pp
And
Class: newrelic::agent::php
environments/production/modules/newrelic/manifests/agent/php.pp
Not sure how they did that and got away with it, since I thought you could
only define a resource once in a module.
But making the file absent by doing this in both files:
$newrelic_daemon_cfgfile_ensure = 'absent',
file { '/etc/newrelic/newrelic.cfg':
ensure => $newrelic_daemon_cfgfile_ensure,
path => '/etc/newrelic/newrelic.cfg',
content => template('newrelic/newrelic.cfg.erb'),
before => Service[$newrelic_php_service],
notify => Service[$newrelic_php_service],
}
Is what worked. Also, I may go ahead and change the manifests per your
advice, but that's more of a style issue than a functional one I think.
Thanks!!
