install puppet modules behind a proxy

[Arvind P R]

Hi

I installed puppet on centos for the first time yesterday. the default installation via YUM didnt install any modules

i am using apache and mysql for the webserver and database.

my question is there no way to install the modules if i am behind a proxy?

[root@puppet ~]# puppet --version

3.3.2

[root@puppet conf.d]# cat /etc/*release*

CentOS release 6.4 (Final)

CentOS release 6.4 (Final)

CentOS release 6.4 (Final)

cpe:/o:centos:linux:6:GA

[root@puppet conf.d]#

At a number of places (forums) I find that it is not supported.

I also installed and configured puppet dashboard which is running on port 3000. I am curious to know what runs on port 8140? The document root specified on the file puppetmaster.conf

[root@puppet conf.d]# ll /usr/share/puppet/rack/puppetmasterd/public/

total 0

is empty. If I use dashboard do I still need the default puppet web page?

[root@puppet ~]# cd /etc/httpd/conf.d/

[root@puppet conf.d]# ll

total 36
