Puppet users - Sep 2011 - Puppet installation and configuration (Master and Client)

I need latest documentation on how to install and configure Puppet
master and Puppet client in CentOS environment.  The CentOS version is
5.4 and Puppet version is 0.22.4.  I''m having problem with configuring
between the Puppet master and Puppet client.  The Puppet master is not
seeing the CA certificate of the Puppet client.

Puppet 0.22.4 is quite old.  Why don''t you enable epel-testing repo and
get 2.6.6 from there?  There is nothing unique about CentOS, fwiw. Any puppet
installation instructions will apply to CentOS.

If you phrased that accurately, you''re somewhere off the reservation. 
The puppet master *IS* the CA for the client''s certificate in normal
configuration.  I suspect you phrased that wrong.

Certificate problems are very common FAQ.  Lots of pages about this. If you
really can''t find the answer online, post the exact error you are
seeing.

You can also enable the Puppetlabs yum repo.  For CentOS 5 look here,
http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/5/products/.

I have a brief writeup on how to build Puppet RPMs, and also have a
link to download the 2.6.9 RPM which is the same as the one in that
repo.  Here, http://itscblog.tamu.edu/creating-your-own-puppet-rpms-part-1/
