Could not create PID file: /var/run/puppet/master.pid
Dave Augustus
I can't get puppetmaster to run at all...
I normally use the init.d script but that would come back with a false
OK- a simple "ps aux" showed no puppetmaster!
So I tried this as root:
/usr/sbin/puppetmasterd --logdest syslog --storeconfigs --no-daemon
--debug --trace --config=/etc/puppet/puppet.conf
Then I su -ed to the user, puppet, and tried- same error listed below:
notice: Starting Puppet master version 2.6.4

Does /var/lib/puppet/run/ exist? Is it writable?

Does this include a post-inst that creates /var/lib/puppet for you?
HTH,
