Can't add multiple Listen entries

[skrussell]

We have a need to add multiple specific "Listen" directives in the httpd.conf file, but I don't seem to be able to.

The following code:

$profile::bind_addresses.each |Integer $index, Stdlib::IP::Address $ip_addr| {
  apache_directive { "set_apache_listen_address_${index}":
    ensure => 'present',
    name   => 'Listen',
    args   => "${ip_addr}:80"
  }   
}

simply results in:

Cannot alias Apache_directive[set_apache_listen_address_1] to [nil, "Listen", nil] at (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/rk_test/site/apache/manifests/init.pp, line: 56); resource ["Apache_directive", nil, "Listen", nil] already declared (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/rk_test/site/apache/manifests/init.pp, line: 56)

I know this is probably a small use case, but having multiple Listen directives is valid syntax in Apache, so I'm filing this issue report as I think this needs a fix.

Indeed, that doesn't seem doable at the moment. I'm not sure how to make this possible really. What kind of syntax would you expect to use to tell Puppet that it needs to manage several Listen parameters instead of overriding?

@raphink Probably have to use a composite namevar for that.

Listen <ipaddr>:80 or the like.
