I am using Puppet Enterprise, puppet-master and puppet agent with the version 3.8, After creating the certificates in agent. there is no certificates which should be waiting in master.

when I run this command only puppet master

$ puppet cert list -a

output is showing nothing, when I try to debug the master with this command

$ puppet master --verbose --no-daemonize

I am getting the error like this

Error: Could not run: Could not create PID file: /var/run/pe-puppet/master.pid

I googled and searched many blogs for this error but I didn't get proper solution. Please help me i'm new to puppet.

is puppet master already running? whats the contents of /var/run/pe-puppet? cheers Stuart

master is not running, when i want to start the master through command line it is failing. /var/run/pe-puppet contains the agent.pid 3398.
