使用Puppet在Windows Server 2008上安装tomcat 7（master是ubuntu）

Question

Has anyone installed tomcat and jdk7 packages on windows server 2008 using puppet.

puppet master is (Ubuntu) puppet agent is (windows server 2008)

node 'puppetwindows' {
package {'jdk7 v7.0.79.1':
           ensure => present,
           source => 'puppet:///modules/jdk//jdk-7u79-windows-x64.exe',
           path => “C:\jdk-7u79-windows-x64.exe”
           install_options => ['/VERYSILENT'],

below is the output;

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could
 not parse for environment production: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII at /etc
/puppet/manifests/site.pp:1 on node puppetwindows.pramati.com
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

Answer 1

Your file is using UTF-8 with BOM. Convert it to UTF-8 w/out BOM.

You should also use puppet parser validate path\\to\\manifest.pp so you can get an idea of whether the file contains good Puppet code and as a byproduct whether Puppet can read the file (are the encodings usable?).

Answer 2

I just restarted the puppet master and it worked fine.

installed chocolatey(package manager for windows same as apt-get on Ubuntu) on both Ubuntu(puppet master) windows(puppet agent)

and with the below code I was able to install tomcat successfully.

node 'puppetwindows.XXXX.com' {
        package { 'tomcat':
                provider => 'chocolatey',
                ensure => 'latest',
                }
}
