/var/lib/puppet/.puppet ?!

Hi folks!
Anyone seen this before . . ? I can't tell why, but for some reason my
puppet runs through foreman are posting their yaml files to the wrong
dir, /var/lib/puppet/.puppet . . . so, for example, a facts file is
ending up in
/var/lib/puppet/.puppet/var/yaml/facts/utest.collmedia.net.yaml which
can't be found by node.rb. It should be going to
/var/lib/puppet/yaml/facts/

i've done a lot of grep'ing for .puppet but haven't found a source . .
. any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Guy

~/.puppet is usually used when Puppet runs as a non-root user, though in
this case it's a bit more complex as the puppetmaster runs as non-root,
but doesn't use ~/.puppet.

Which version of Puppet? v3 changed some initialisation details, so you
might need to update config.ru if you've upgraded.

Can you pastebin puppet.conf and config.ru (if you use passenger)?

Thanks a lot, Dominic! Please have a look at http://pastebin.com/usgTbKGi

I did upgrade to puppet v3 after installing foreman . . . Should I run
the foreman installer again?

Thanks again,
Guy
