Re: [Puppet Users] serving .exe file via http (provider = windows)

2013-08-05 Thread Martin Alfke 
Hi,

I assume that you have the exe file within your module in the files folder.
Adopt the source attribute to the following:

source = 'puppet:///modulename/filename

Put the exe in your module:
modulepath/modulename/files/exe filename

hth,

 hi everyone, i'm trying to roll out an .exe file for the puppet package

 my manifest looks like this:
 
 $package_source   = 
 http://puppet.local.domain/base_check_mk/windows/check-mk-agent-1.2.3i1.exe; 
 $package_name = Check_MK Agent 1.2.3i1 
 
 package { $package_name:

 provider = windows,
 source   = $package_source,
 install_options = ['/S', '/D=C:\check_mk']
 }
 
 the agent says:
 
 Error: The source does not exist: 
 'http://puppet.local.domain/basecheckmk/windows/check-mk-agent-1.2.3i1.exe'
 
 When i open this link in the browser of the agent, the download of the file 
 starts. (So the path is correct).
 
 The same procedure works with .msi files though. Are .exe files not 
 supported for this kind of method?

Hi,

from the official documentation:

Additional Notes on Windows Packages

- The source parameter is required, and must refer to a local .msi 
file, a file from a mapped drive, or a UNC path. You can distribute 
packages as file resources. Puppet URLs are not currently supported 
for the package type’s source attribute.


This is why i want to serve the file via httpd (like i said, it worked with 
msi files).

Re: [Puppet Users] serving .exe file via http (provider = windows)

2013-08-05 Thread badgerious 
Installing from a URL is a feature of msiexec rather than the puppet 
provider. I think you're stuck using a file resource to download the .exe 
and then installing from a local path (or serving directly from a UNC 
path). It would be neat if the windows package provider could eat 
puppet:/// sources though.
