Puppet users - Oct 2013 - Need help wrapping my brain around custom environments

I''m trying to get a small Puppet Enterprise environment setup for
testing -
just three servers: a Gitlab box for manifest/module version control, the 
puppet enterprise server, and a test ubuntu box. I believe I have a pretty 
decent handle on how to automatically pull down updates from the git 
repository using Sinatra and a web hook, but I''m at the point where I
need
to figure out how to get this new repository available for my ubuntu box to 
actually use.

I believe this is the relevant information about my setup:

/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/$ tree
|-- auth.conf
|-- environments
|   `-- dev
|       |-- README
|       |-- apache
|       |   |-- files
|       |   |   `-- index.html
|       |   |-- manifests
|       |   |   `-- init.pp
|       |   `-- tests
|       |       `-- init.pp
|       |-- site.pp
|       `-- users
|           |-- manifests
|           |   `-- init.pp
|           `-- tests
|               `-- init.pp
|-- files
|-- fileserver.conf
|-- hiera.yaml
|-- manifests
|   `-- site.pp
|-- modules
|   `-- motd

|       |-- stuff

|       `-- things

|-- puppet.conf
|-- puppet.conf.bak
|-- puppetdb.conf
|-- routes.yaml
|-- ssl [error opening dir]
`-- templates


puppet.conf

[main]
    certname = puppet-test.local.dom
    vardir = /var/opt/lib/pe-puppet
    logdir = /var/log/pe-puppet
    rundir = /var/run/pe-puppet
    modulepath = 
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules:/opt/puppet/share/puppet/modules
    server = puppet-test.local.dom
    user  = pe-puppet
    group = pe-puppet
    archive_files = true
    archive_file_server = puppet-test.local.dom

[master]
    certname = puppet-test.local.dom
    dns_alt_names = puppet-test,puppet-test.local.dom,puppet.local.dom
    ca_name = ''Puppet CA generated on puppet-test.elbiz.local at
2013-10-01
13:52:42 -0400''
    reports = http,puppetdb
    reporturl = https://localhost:443/reports/upload
    node_terminus = exec
    external_nodes = /etc/puppetlabs/puppet-dashboard/external_node
    ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN
    ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY
    storeconfigs_backend = puppetdb
    storeconfigs = true

[agent]
    report = true
    classfile = $vardir/classes.txt
    localconfig = $vardir/localconfig
    graph = true
    pluginsync = true
    environment = production

[dev]
    environment = dev
    manifest = /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments/dev/site.pp
    modulepath = 
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments/dev/modules:/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules:/opt/puppet/share/puppet/modules


Contents of ./dev/site.pp

node default {
  include apache
}


MOTD is a module pulled from Puppet Forge - and it works correctly with a puppet
agent -t command from my ubuntu test box. However, if I perform a puppet 
agent -t --environment dev - things fail:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Could not find class apache for ubuntu1204-puppet.local.dom on node 
ubuntu1204-puppet.local.dom
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run


I guess I''m just looking for what I might have missed. Any thoughts?

Hi, 
  I think the problem is with your modulepath, as your apache module is 
under /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments/dev/, change the modulepath under 
[dev] as 
modulepath = /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments/dev
I hope this will solve your problem.

Thanks and Regards

To set an environment on a per-node basis, the [agent] block in puppet.conf 
on each node should specify the correct environment setting, or else you 
should use an ENC that sets the the environment.  Your configuration sets 
environment ''production'' for agents, which is the default, and
for which
you have no per-environment settings defined anyway.  It is useless to set 
the environment in a per-environment block (i.e. in the [dev] block), 
because the environment must have already been determined for the contents 
of a per-environment block to be used.

Your node is in environment ''production'', and the module path
for that
environment does not contain the apache module.  Your main 
manifests/site.pp file must be declaring class apache for the node, as the 
dev/site.pp will not have been consulted.
