Puppet users - Jan 2009 - Cannot create /var/lib/puppet/clientbucket; parent directory /var/lib/puppet does not exist

Hi all,

I''m doing a new install of my puppet server and I''m doing it
like:

1.-) adding epel repo:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse

2.-) yum -y install puppet-server

3.-) rm -rf /etc/puppet

4.-) copy my old puppet conf (from puppet-0.24.5 to 0.24.6)

mv /etc/puppet.old /etc/puppet

5.-) start puppetmaster:

[gridinstall etc]# /etc/init.d/puppetmaster start
Starting puppetmaster: Got 1 failure(s) while initializing: change from absent
to directory failed: Cannot create /var/lib/puppet/clientbucket; parent
directory /var/lib/puppet does not exist
                                                           [FAILED]

I could create dirs by hand, but I suppose it''s not the solution.

My puppetmaster.conf:
[puppet]
    # Where Puppet stores dynamic and growing data.
    # The default value is ''/var/puppet''.
    vardir = /var/lib/puppet

    # The Puppet log directory.
    # The default value is ''$vardir/log''.
    logdir = /var/log/puppet

    # Where Puppet PID files are kept.
    # The default value is ''$vardir/run''.
    rundir = /var/run/puppet

    # Where SSL certificates are kept.
    # The default value is ''$confdir/ssl''.
    ssldir = $vardir/ssl
modulepath = /etc/puppet/manifests/modules

[puppetd]
    # The file in which puppetd stores a list of the classes
    # associated with the retrieved configuratiion.  Can be loaded in
    # the separate ``puppet`` executable using the ``--loadclasses``
    # option.
    # The default value is ''$confdir/classes.txt''.
    classfile = $vardir/classes.txt

    # Where puppetd caches the local configuration.  An
    # extension indicating the cache format is added automatically.
    # The default value is ''$confdir/localconfig''.
	localconfig = $vardir/localconfig
	reports         = rrdgraph,store,log
	reportdir       = $vardir/report
	rrddir          = $vardir/rrd
	rrdinterval     = $runinterval
	rrdgraph        = true

[puppetmaster]
autosign = /etc/puppet/autosign.conf	
modulepath = /etc/puppet/manifests/modules
[puppetmasterd]
modulepath = /etc/puppet/manifests/modules



Could someone help me to find is my problem?

Cheers,
Arnau

Are you sure? :-) 
I finally created it by hand and the other ones too, but I was asking
if this error is normal in a fresh install.

Anyway, thanks for your reply,

Try adding an exec statement that runs at the beginning of your  
manifest.  I''d have to know your manifest to suggest the best way to  
do it.  I personally have an essential package resource require it.

exec {"mkdir -p /var/lib/puppet":}

This is definitely a bug; it shouldn''t happen.

Please file a bug, although I think I''ve fixed it in the master  
branch.  Puppet should always be able to start from a clean slate.

well, it''s on server... I don''t manage puppet server with
puppet...

Someone said I should open a bug... Should I do it here:
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/simpleticket ?

Cause I registered myself as trac user but I see nothing there...

I followed FAQ:
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#id32

Cheers,
Arnau

I''ll update the FAQ; trac is being phased out, and the current buglist
is on redmine:
