Always create new changes after restart

[zeleznypa]

Because NginX have all tmp files in /tmp, after the restart puppet notice that create new resources:

notice: /Stage[main]/Nginx::Config/File[/tmp/nginx.d]/ensure: created
notice: /Stage[main]//Nginx::Resource::Vhost[subdomain.loc]/File[/tmp/nginx.d/subdomain.loc-001]/ensure: defined content as '{md5}6d3a5459fc18bd5affcc20f4f60dfb56'

I want to change nx_temp_dir variable value to '/var/nginx/tmp' to prevent this but I can't find any way, how to do this. Please help

There is a lot of parameters in https://github.com/jfryman/puppet-nginx/blob/master/manifests/params.pp that I can't edit any way. For example: $nx_multi_accept

Hi @zeleznypa,

after the restart puppet notice that create new resources

The way the module's designed these resources have to be created - even if you could change nx_temp_dir the resources would still be created, they'd just be in a different location.

There is a lot of parameters in ... that I can't edit

This has been raised as issue #62. There are a couple of PRs already to try and work out a solution - comment on those if the parameters you need to edit aren't included in the pull requests being considered.

Aside from these points, are there any issues with the behavior of the module itself? If not, would you consider closing this issue?

Hi @3flex,

problem of nx_temp_dir is, that content of /tmp dir is deleted every restart of server, but if I chage it to another directory, content will not be deleted and eberything will be allright I think ;)

Oh I see, I didn't realize you were talking about the server restart!

Once there's a solution for #62 merged you'll be able to set the path (both current proposals expose a parameter for the temp dir).
