I used the guide found here
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingPassenger on a RHEL 5
server with success. You'll see that most things are installed via yum
repositories except for rack and passenger, which are installed as
ruby gems. You'll probably find better answers for this type of
questions and any issues you might run into during implementation on
the puppet users mailing list (
http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users)
