Unable to start puppetmaster on Mac OSX Mavericks

[Ryan Nideffer]

I've followed the installation guide for Mac OSX and I get this in puppetmaster.err upon starting the daemon with launchctl:

Error: Could not create resources for managing Puppet's files and directories in sections [:main, :master, :ssl, :metrics]: undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass

Error: Could not prepare for execution: Could not create resources for managing Puppet's files and directories in sections [:main, :master, :ssl, :metrics]: undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass

undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass

Any ideas?

Hi Ryan,

Can you start the puppetmaster manually, e.g. from terminal, with
`puppet master --no-daemonize --verbose --debug`?

What's the output?
