Puppet users - Jun 2012 - Cannot set up Puppet to use Apache/Passenger on a custom install

Hi All,

I''m trying to set up the puppetmaster to go through Apache/Passenger. I
already have Apache/Passenger running and serving the dashboard. I followed 
the instructions at:

http://www.tomhayman.co.uk/linux/install-puppet-modpassenger-mysql-stored-procs-centos-6-rhel6/
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Using_Passenger
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/passenger.html

However, it seems that Passenger expects to find my installation at 
/etc/puppet and /var/lib/puppet. However, my install is set up in a 
different part of the file system. How can I tell Passenger where my 
puppetmaster lives? Here''s what I see in the Apache error log:

[Fri Jun 22 11:13:23 2012] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing 
restart

In config.ru you can modify the arguments passed to the Puppet master process.

I recommend setting --confdir in config.ru and then set vardir in puppet.conf.

Just wanted to write back to say that everything works like a charm now. I 
started with this due to capacity issues, so I intend to try increasing the 
load to see how much more the Apache/Passenger setup can handle as compared 
to the built-in server.

Thanks for the support!
