We have a puppet server in westcoast (li823-33.members.linode.com)
Following are steps how to install and configure the puppet server:
rpm -ivh https://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-6.noarch.rpm
yum -y install puppetserver
service puppetserver start
service puppetserver stop
edit /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
[main]
# The Puppet log directory. # The default value is '$vardir/log'.
logdir = /var/log/puppet
# Where Puppet PID files are kept.
# The default value is '$vardir/run'.
rundir = /var/run/puppet
# Where SSL certificates are kept.
# The default value is '$confdir/ssl'.
ssldir = $vardir/ssl
#put your hostname in here.
dns_alt_names = <PUPPET SERVER HOSTNAME>
always_cache_features=true
environmentpath=/etc/puppet/environments/
[agent]
# The file in which puppetd stores a list of the classes
# associated with the retrieved configuratiion. Can be loaded in
# the separate puppet executable using the --loadclasses
# option.

classfile = $vardir/classes.txt
# Where puppetd caches the local configuration. An
# extension indicating the cache format is added automatically.

localconfig = $vardir/localconfig
