Question about Puppet Master Configuration

[Michael Lopez]

I have a particular question about an error message I keep receiving. I have installed Puppet on Centos 6.5. I have two servers running. One as the Puppet Master and the other as the Puppet client.

Every time I run this command: puppet master --verbose --no-daemonize

as the root user

I get this error:

Notice: Starting Puppet master version 3.7.1
Error: Could not run: Could not create PID file: /var/run/puppet/master.pid

What would be the reason why now I am getting that error? Is puppet master supposed to be running? How can I create the CA certificate and the puppet master certificate if that command can't be fixed?

Does the directory /var/run/puppet exist and is that directory writable? Go to it and try the command 'touch test' as root.
