[puppet-server] - "/var/lib/puppet" while installing 0.25.5 puppet-server
kid17
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?

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 :)
