Puppet can't use config set server

I've installed Puppet (version 4.10.1) via Ruby Gems.

I then use:

sudo puppet config set server mysite.org

Which returns the following error (same error without sudo).

Error: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf Error: Try 'puppet help config set' for usage

Solution

  • I'm not 100% sure what led to the situation of the /etc/puppetlabs/puppet folder not being created during the install process.

    I found creating the folder manually with sudo mkdir /etc/pupppetlabs/puppet before running sudo puppet config set server mysite.org fixed the issue.
