[chef] Using UNC path was Re: Re: Re: Re: A question about chef-splunk cookbook

Hi,

Sorry it's taken so long to try this, but so far, I haven't been able to make 
it work:

 splunk]#


I've tried it using both directly like above using 
"file://192.168.0.236/h/INSTALL-FILES-CENTOS6-and-CHEF/SPLUNK/splunk-6.0.7-241889-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm"
 in the chef-splunk attributes, and also tried creating a mount at 
/mnt/shareit (and confirming I can see the RPMs at the mount) and get the 
same error.

Is there something else I need to do with the file:// URL?

Thanks,
Jim

                                         Also, as of 12.4.0,
 remote_file can use UNC paths!

 Thanks.  I will give that a try as soon as
 I figure out another problem I just started having (with
 Chef and CENTOS).

  I don't know for the
 
  slunk cookbook itself (didn't use it)
 but assuming it
 
  takes advantage of remote_file resource
 I'm sure yes as
 
  my sole contribution to chef was on the
 file:// url code and
 
  I did test for this kind of path for Unix
 and Windows ;)
 
  
 
  T.l.;d.r Should be yes but may
 
  work with a UNC path
 file://server/share/file.rpm too if the
 
  share is browsable as anonymous (everyone
 read permission in
 
  share and NTFS acl)

 Hopefully that's
 
  ok (otherwise please point me to the
 correct place?)?

  Anyway, the question I have is whether
 this can support
 
  using file:// type URLs for the location
 of the Splunk
 
  server and Splunk forwarder RPMs?

  the attribute.
