Error Stage main Mysql-server Service mysql-server Could not evaluate Could not find init script or upstart conf file for mysql-server

Question

Puppet master(ubuntu VM-1) Puppet agent (ubuntu VM-2). 

I've installed apache with puppet which works fine

ubuntu@puppet:/etc/puppet/manifests$ cat site.pp 
node 'puppetclient.example.com' {
   include apache2
   include mysql-server
}

my init.pp for my mysql-server:

class mysql-server {
  package { 'mysql-server':
    ensure => installed,
  }
  service { 'mysql-server':
    ensure  => true,
    enable  => true,
    require => Package['mysql-server'],
  }
}

When i perform puppet agent -t on my agent.

Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Caching catalog for puppetclient.example.com 
Info: Applying configuration version '1462308091' 
Error: /Stage[main]/Mysql-server/Service[mysql-server]: Could not evaluate: Could not find init script or upstart conf file for 'mysql-server' 
Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.10 seconds

Why am i getting the error? kindly help.

Answer 1

The error means that puppet was not able to start service called mysql-server

Could not find init script or upstart conf file for 'mysql-server'

The service is not called mysql-server as this is only the name for the package, actual service is called mysql.

Try using::

service { 'mysql': 
ensure => true, 
enable => true, 
require => Package['mysql-server'], 
}

This should do!
