question : CA server setup error with master.pid
setup of puppet : client -server Process failing : Setting up the CA server on the server Processes done before : Installed puppermaster on master-server renamed the puppetmaster as puppet
Error displayed root@puppet:~# puppet master --verbose --no-daemonize Notice: Starting Puppet master version 3.4.3 Error: Could not run: Could not create PID file: /var/run/puppet/master.pid
ptierno is right. This error only occurs if there's already a process running either in the background or the service has been started. Assuming that this is a test system, you may just do a 'killall puppet' and re-fire that command.
Thank you.
