Or, I dunno, maybe he could could tie the service to the config file, and
restart apache when the config file changes, and "require" the apache2
class as part of his nginx setup.
So Puppet would install apache (starting the service), install the config
file (restarting apache), and then install nginx.
class apache2 {
$pkglist = ['apache2', 'apache2-dev', .... ]
package { $pkglist:
ensure => latest,
alias => 'apache2'
}
file { '/etc/apache2/conf.d/ports.conf':
content => 'Listen 127.0.0.1:80',
require => Package['apache2'],
notify => Service['apache2']
}
service { 'apache2':
ensure => running,
refreshonly => true
}
}
class nginx {
require apache2
package { ... }
service { ... }
}
That's just off the top of my head, and isn't really The Right Way, but
it's got all the components.

That is probably the single worst piece of advice I've seen on this forum.
It's hostile, short-sighted, and not terribly useful.
Debian has been a better "server" OS for years, in that it supports
in-place upgrades, and makes it easier to control which packages are
installed from which repositories.
Our environment has about 200 web and database servers, about 60% of which
are Red Hat, and the rest are Debian. They're both perfectly good
operating systems for production servers, but they do require the admin be
open-minded enough to actually learn the differences between the two
paradigms-- otherwise, you might as well run Windows.
