[chef] Re: Re: Re: Creating multiple recipes in one cookbook

[Gourav Shah < >]

What I did was after I ran the code from default.rb 

I manually removed php from client box and 

re-ran it using php_install.rb

It doesn't installs php and throws some error. 

are you specifically calling recipe[php::php_install]  to run this?  What is your chef setup? Are you using chef-solo or chef -server? 

 

That's where my problem lies, how should call these recipes :(

Presently, I just say include_recipe "php" in default.rb file.

Any pointers on how should I proceed ?

From your description, I uderstand you are not applied this recipe in the run_list. Correct way to do this would be remove recipe[php] (if you have removed intall logic from there) and   then add recipe[php:php_install] to this node and then run chef-client/chef-solo

Ashutosh, 

When you say "but when I create a recipe name "php_install.rb" or "php_uninstall.rb" under

recipes directory and write the same code it doesn't allow me to install or

uninstall php respectively. "

What happens when you do it? Also, how are you calling these recipes, are you using recipe[php::php_install] in case of php_install.rb recipe and so on? 

Thanks

Hi folks,

I am facing some issues in creating multiple recipes under same cookbook.

What am trying to achieve is say - I have a cookbook named "php" under

which I have recipes/default.rb. When I write ruby snippet to install php

having file name default.rb things works out to be fine, 

but when I create a recipe name "php_install.rb" or "php_uninstall.rb" under

recipes directory and write the same code it doesn't allow me to install or

uninstall php respectively. 

I also tried with an option include_recipe "php" in default.rb file. 

Then too it didn't work out.

Where am I going wrong ?

Any inputs ?

Thank you,
