Configuring Apache with Puppet and Vagrant - apache

Question

I'm using Vagrant and Puppet for the first time in a project and I keep running into an issue.
I've used PuPHPet as a starting point, and I have the following snippet in my default.pp manifest:
class { 'apache': }
apache::dotconf { 'custom':
content => 'EnableSendfile Off',
}
apache::module { 'rewrite': }
apache::vhost { 'awesome.dev':
server_name => 'awesome.dev',
serveraliases => [
],
docroot => '/var/www',
port => '80',
directories => [ { path => '/var/www/', allow => 'from all', allow_override => ['All'] } ],
env_variables => [],
priority => '1',
}
When I run it, I always get the following error:
warning: Could not retrieve fact fqdn
Invalid parameter directories at /tmp/vagrant-puppet/manifests/default.pp:46 on node precise32
The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!
cd /tmp/vagrant-puppet/manifests && puppet apply --verbose --modulepath '/etc/puppet/modules:/tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0' default.pp --detailed-exitcodes || [ $? -eq 2 ]
Line 46 is the end of the apache::vhost rule. I want to set it to allow override using htaccess, but I can't see where I've gone wrong. Can anyone see what the issue is?

PuPHPet uses the Example42 Apache Puppet module, see the README file. This module doesn't have a directories parameter in the vhost resource:
https://github.com/puphpet/puphpet-apache/blob/master/manifests/vhost.pp#L100
Only the Puppet Labs Apache module has a directories parameter, but it's a different module:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apache/blob/master/manifests/vhost.pp#L25
You can however use the directory parameter in Example42's module similarly to the example which can be found in the vhost resource:
# apache::vhost { 'my.other.site':
# docroot => '/path/to/docroot',
# directory => '/path/to',
# directory_allow_override => 'All',
# }
