  • How to transfer a static file on client systems using puppet module?
  • When ever we specify the content of a file comes from in the module, it gets this error:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Files must be fully qualified at 
/etc/puppet/environments/KT_Example_Library_SOE_RHEL6_6/modules/soe_sslcerts/manifests/cacerts.pp:21 
on node client.example.com
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

Here is the code snippet in question:

file { '/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca.pem':
       ensure  => 'file',
       group   => '0',
       mode    => '0644',
       owner   => '0',
       content => file('soe_sslcerts/ca.pem'),
     }
