Puppet users - Apr 2013 - Trouble with puppetdb on ubuntu when using passenger

I am trying to get an environment setup with the following (currently two 
differenet servers):
* A puppet master running on ubuntu 12.04 with passenger
* A puppetdb server managed via puppet using postgresql (installed locally) 
on ubuntu 12.04

I have installed all of this so far using the puppetlabs repository and 
have had some amount of success, even though the tools seem to be full of 
configuration bugs (the ssl config scripts do NOT work correctly, I had to 
manually regenerate all of the certificates, keystore & truststore 
manuallually).  

After getting all of that done, I am stuck with another error when trying 
to run *puppet agent -t* on the master:
Error: /Stage[main]/Puppetdb::Master::Config/Service[puppetmaster]: Could 
not evaluate: Could not find init script or upstart conf file for 
''puppetmaster''

Since I''m using passenger, puppetdb should be trying to restart apache 
instead of puppetmaster, but I can''t figure out how to tell it to use 
apache instead of puppetmaster, and have not been able to find anything in 
the documentation about how to configure this.

From what I read, this should be a fairly normal environment that is easy 
to setup, which has been far from the truth...

Did you run puppet on the host first? Its a gotcha, we use the
certificates from a previous Puppet agent run to create the JKS files
in question. Its mentioned in Step 1 here, but some people miss that
step: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/1.1/install_from_packages.html

When you initialize the puppetdb::master::config class, you should
specify the service:

class { ''puppetdb::master::config'':
  puppet_service_name => ''apache2'',
}

That will force it to use the ''apache2'' service instead of
''puppetmaster'' for the restart. There are other parameters
that can be
overridden if desired, they are detailed here:
