Error: Could not prepare for execution: Could not create PID file: /var/run/pe-puppet/agent.pid

Hi All,

While I am running puppet agent I get the following error:

command : puppet agent --verbose Error: Could not prepare for execution: Could not create PID file: /var/run/pe-puppet/agent.pid

Checked under /var/run/pe-puppet, pid file is being created when the serrvice is started. Checked in the puppet.conf and the rundir is correctly mentioned. Nothing found under /var/log/pe-puppet/

Please let me know where else I can check for the error.

Thanks, Manchana

Hi Manchana,

   can you check the rundir option in  /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf file as,

.

rundir = /var/run/pe-puppet
