I'm setting up puppetserver on a machine running debian. When I restart the server using the following command
sudo service puppetserver restart
I'm getting the following error
Job for puppetserver.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status puppetserver.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
I checked for the log and it shows as follows.I've followed the puppet docs https://puppet.com/docs/puppetserver/5.3/install_from_packages.html for installation.
admin@puppet:~$ sudo journalctl -xe
