I've been trying to install Puppet on my Centos 6.5 system since yesterday but to no avail. At first I installed the puppetmaster-passenger but got a lot of errors during installation. I ended up purging it and today tried a fresh install of just the puppetmaster. There were no errors but I cannot see the puppet.conf or the site.pp file. They are not created during installation. ubuntu:/etc$ ll puppet total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 20 14:49 ./ drwxr-xr-x 106 root root 4096 Nov 20 14:49 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 20 14:49 manifests/ drwxrwx--x 8 puppet puppet 4096 Nov 20 14:49 ssl/ When I try to start the service, the error I get is ubuntu:/$ sudo puppet master --verbose --no-daemonize Notice: Starting Puppet master version 3.7.3 Error: Could not run: Could not create PID file: /var/lib/puppet/run/master.pid Where am I going wrong?
