Hi, step one is to build a puppet manifest that "mirrors" you existing server in that puppet will, when run on your server, do nothing. The tricky part is to include everything you really need. There is no automatism that will tell if you have. Once the manifest is complete, run puppet on a fresh machine so that puppet will take care to set everything up. This fresh server is your "duplicate" then. Typically, you will not puppet to manage the web contents of your application. There are solutions that are fitted better for such things (source control systems, network file systems etc.) HTH, Felix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
