nexusis / puppet-mediawiki Goto Github PK

In my site.pp, I put

db_root_password => 'my awesome diceware password',

I got

Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Node[hg-mediawiki.ncl.ac.uk]/Mediawiki::Instance[my_wiki1]/Exec[my_wiki1-install_script]/returns: Check the host, username and password and try again.

When I replaced with

db_root_password => 'my.awesome.diceware.password',

the wiki installed as expected.

https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/reference/modules_fundamentals.html#example explains that the module name, folder name, and manifests/init.pp class name must all be identical. When I download the module from Puppet Forge, the directory name I get is nexusis_mediawiki instead of mediawiki. This stops the module from working, but renaming the directory to mediawiki stops puppet module from managing the module. A workaround is to symlink the directory name to the class name as follows:

cd /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules
ln -s nexusis_mediawiki/ mediawiki

however, the proper solution is to change the directory name in this repo.

In instance.pp, having the $smtp_* variables unset didn't work with my Puppet 4 installation, giving:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Mediawiki::Instance[my_wiki1]:
expects a value for parameter 'smtp_auth'

and similar lines. Making all those entries be false (without quotes) fixed it. I am currently finding out whether I am allowed to publish patches written at work: if I am, I'll submit one.
