There are some very serious flaws in the bootstrapping documentation. 

Easy one:

<pre>Once Passenger is enabled, copy Dashboard’s example vhost from 
ext/dashboard-vhost.conf (snip)</pre>

This should actually refer to <pre>ext/passenger/dashboard-vhost.conf</pre>

Harder one: 

Near the top of the documentation it says that you can use the Dashboard's ENC. 
 No information is provided as to whether you have to do this, or what the 
value is.  I assumed it meant I needed an ENC of one type or another and 
enabled this.  Which immediately caused clients to fail like so:

<pre>
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could 
not find node 'nodename'; cannot compile
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
</pre>

Note: it seems to work after you're done setting up dashboard and the nodes are 
known, but the placement in the documentation lists it as a setup step.  It 
would appear to be a post-install step rather.  And I question that it's a good 
idea there, as what about a brand new node?
