Installed puppetmaster, but why do I get "puppetca: command not found"?

Question

# puppetca --list
-bash: puppetca: command not found

I am newbie in Puppet server, but I think I have installed puppet-server correctly.

How to get the puppetca ?

Solution

Starting with puppet 3.0, the puppetca and other similar commands have been obsoleted. You may want to use puppet cert list instead.

Quoting the actual entry:

The legacy standalone executables, which were replaced by subcommands in Puppet 2.6, have been removed. Additionally, running puppet without a subcommand no longer defaults to puppet apply.

What server OS? Which repository and version? For recent Ubuntu versions, puppetmaster-common should be pulled in as a dependency in which /usr/sbin/puppetca is located. And did you run it as sudo/root?
