Puppet users - Sep 2010 - [puppet-server] - "/var/lib/puppet" while installing 0.25.5 puppet-server

just installed puppet-server using yum.

but when i ran /etc/init.d/puppetmaster start, file directory /var/lib/
puppet is empty.

how come it''s empty as compared to installing from source?

I would assume that the package maintainer moved the default directory location.

Try this:
puppetmaster --genconfig | grep "libdir ="

It''s been a while, but I think when I installed the Puppetmaster
package (from EPEL), it was set up to use `/etc/puppet/` while the client
package uses `/var/lib/puppet/`. I couldn''t be completely wrong about
that, though.

The magnitude of a problem does not affect its ownership.

The Fedora/EPEL packages don''t change this.  I''m not sure if
there are
any other yum using distros out there.  But if the OP meant one of
those two, then /var/lib/puppet is the default $vardir.  There''s just
nothing installed there by the packages.  Running puppet will create
whatever files and dirs are needed there.

I think you mean:

    puppetmasterd --genconfig | grep "vardir ="

(Note the d on the end of puppetmaster and s/libdir/vardir :)
