I seem to be pretty close to having it working by pulling down w/ git

What I can't figure out is if puppet is in MySQL in a database called puppet 
and the dashboard created the database called dashboard, the dashboard is empty 
and doesn't have a clue about what's installed/available.

Perhaps this is just because the 'agent' must report and to that end, I have 
configured the system running puppetmaster ...

# cat /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
[main]
# Basic config:
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/etc/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
pluginsync=false
templatedir=$confdir/templates

#Puppetmaster-config:
[master]
storeconfigs = true
# MySQL-configuration:
dbadapter = mysql
dbuser = puppet
dbpassword = XXXXXX
dbserver = localhost
dbsocket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
# SSL-config:
ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN
ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY
# Reports to puppet-dashboard for each run:
reports = http, store
reporturl = http://puppet.ttinet:8000/reports/upload

[agent]
report = true

but even when I update my 'client' system, dashboard is still empty. I think I 
am missing something really basic.

Is the Dashboard not capable of reading files from /etc/puppet/ tree?  Does it 
only get data from 'agent' reports? Did I miss something in my setup to get the 
'agents' to report to Dashboard?
