Issue #1862 has been updated by lutter.
The puppet RPM (on which puppet-server depends) creates /var/lib/puppet owned by puppet.puppet with mode 0755. Is there any way that somethign deletes it during server startup ? Doublecheck that after installing the RPM's /var/lib/puppet is there, i.e. do a 'yum erase puppet && yum install -y puppet-server' ---------------------------------------- Bug #1862: Cannot create /var/lib/puppet/clientbucket; parent directory /var/lib/puppet does not exist http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1862 Author: arnau Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assigned to: luke Category: service Target version: Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.6 Keywords: Puppet server (puppet-server-0.24.6-1.el5) is not able to create $vardir after fresh install in CentOS release 5.2.
