Complete Mongrel Setup For Debian

This is a complete step-by-step configuration for using Mongrel instead of Webrick on Debian Etch. It uses the Recipes/Debian Apache2Recipe and creates a stand-alone apache server on port 8140 for puppetmaster.

You need:

1. The mongrel and libdaemons-ruby1.8 packages from etch-backports

2. A stand-alone apache2 configuration for puppetmaster only: Apache Configuration

3. An init script for stand-alone apache: Apache init script

4. A puppetmaster init script, which starts 10 mongrel processes: Puppetmasterd init script

5. And finally, a module called puppet to tie this all together. The module’s init.pp file is listed below:

   class puppetmaster inherits apache2 {
   
     $certname = "puppet.example.com"
   
     apache2::module {
       "proxy":          ensure => present;
       "proxy_http":     ensure => present;
       "proxy_balancer": ensure => present;
       "headers":        ensure => present;
       "ssl":            ensure => present;
       "authz_host":     ensure => present;
     }
   
     file { "/etc/apache2/puppetmaster.conf":
       content => template("puppet/puppetmaster.conf"),
       require => Package["apache2"],
       notify  => Service["apache2"],
     }
   
     file { "/etc/init.d/apache2-puppetmaster":
       mode   => "755",
       source => "puppet:///puppet/apache2-puppetmaster",
       notify  => Service["apache2"],
     }
   
     file { "/etc/init.d/puppetmaster":
       mode   => "755",
       source => "puppet:///puppet/puppetmaster",
       notify  => Service["puppetmaster"],
     }
   
     package {
       "puppetmaster":       ensure => latest;
       "libldap-ruby1.8":    ensure => present;
       "rdoc":               ensure => present;
       "rails":              ensure => present;
       "libsqlite3-ruby1.8": ensure => present;
       "libdaemons-ruby1.8": ensure => present;
       "mongrel":            ensure => present;
       "cronolog":            ensure => present;
     }
   
     service { "apache2-puppetmaster":
       require => [ Package["apache2"], File["/etc/init.d/apache2-puppetmaster"], File["/etc/apache2/puppetmaster.conf"] ],
       ensure  => running,
       enable  => true,
       pattern => "apache2 -f /etc/apache2/puppetmaster.conf",
     }
   
     service { "puppetmaster":
       ensure  => running,
       enable  => true,
       require => [ Package["puppetmaster"], File["/etc/init.d/puppetmaster"] ],
     }
   
   }
