2.6.1. The apache::install class

Firstly, we install Apache via the apache::install class:

class apache::install {
  package { [ "apache2" ]:

ensure => present,
  }
}

This class currently just installs Apache on an Ubuntu host; we could easily add an apache::params class in the style of our SSH module to support multiple platforms.

2.6.2. The apache::service class

For this module we're going to skip a configuration class, because we can just use the default Apache configuration. Let's move right to an apache::service class to manage the Apache service itself.

class apache::service {
  service { "apache2":
    ensure => running,
    hasstatus => true,
    hasrestart => true,
    enable => true,
    require => Class["apache::install"],
  }
}
