	Note
The host named “puppet” is the puppetmaster. This is by widespread Puppet convention.

dns_alt_names = puppet.servers.mydomain.com

Create some environment dirs

apprentice@puppet:/etc/puppet$ sudo mkdir -p /srv/puppet/envs/{production,testing,joe,william,jack,averell} apprentice@puppet:/etc/puppet$ sudo mv modules/ manifests/ templates/ /srv/puppet/envs/production/ apprentice@puppet:/etc/puppet$ sudo mkdir -p /srv/puppet/common apprentice@puppet:/etc/puppet$ sudo mkdir -p /srv/puppet/common/modules

Configure the puppetmaster

/etc/puppet/puppet.conf

# These are needed when the puppetmaster is run by passenger
# and can safely be removed if webrick is used.
