Thanks for the tip. I'll use that from now on.

Good call, I will submit one today.

I was just following another person's instructions online. I just
tried it without the fileserver.conf and it worked just fine. Thanks
for the tip.

I just retried, and the only thing it looks like I need is /etc/puppet/
puppet.conf with the following:
[main]
  user = 0
  group = 0

And that seems to work, using the root user (although it might not be
the best practice).
