Puppet users - Nov 2010 - Could not create PID file: /var/lib/puppet/run/puppetd.pid

Hi experts! I am running Puppet 0.25.5 on CentOS, and I have two
machines, one running as master one as client. My master machine seems
alright but my client machine keeps on getting this message: "Could
not run: Could not create PID file: /var/lib/puppet/run/puppetd.pid"

I''m new to this and I''m really confused, the steps I took for
the
client is almost identical to the master, but it seems that the master
has created a PID file automatically upon startup. I''ve searched
online for troubleshooting method including removing "puppet.pid" and
".svn", but still not working.

Hi James,

Could you give a little more information about your issue?  How did you
install the packages?  How are you attempting to start the services?  Your
PID location appears to be nonstandard, so I would be curious if you have
anything in your puppet.conf specifying an alternate pidfile.  The default
location for pidfile is /var/run/puppet/puppet.pid.

What is the contents of your /etc/puppet/puppet.conf and what are the
permissions on the /var/lib/puppet/run directory?
