I'm using a puppet template to manage a config file. I have a ubuntu puppet server and a Linux agent.

file { '/tmp/filesources':
  content => template('puppet:///modules/mymodule/mymodule.conf.erb'),
}

It displays "module names must be alphanumeric (plus '-'), not 'puppet:" . I am trying hard to figure out this. what's wrong?

This is often caused when you confuse the content and source attributes and mostly when you are refactoring a resource from a static file to one that uses a template for dynamic content. 

Try this:

file { '/tmp/filesources': 
content => template('mymodule/mymodule.conf.erb'), }

This should do!
