I'm pretty sure that, besides the other answers already provided, your main problem is the wrong user for your Puppet configuration. It should be user 'puppet' and not 'root'. That's how '/etc/puppet' should look like:
drwxr-xr-x 5 puppet puppet 4.0K Dec 12 17:48 . drwxr-xr-x 79 root root 12K Dec 26 04:03 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 puppet puppet 3.1K Dec 12 17:48 auth.conf drwxr-xr-x 6 puppet puppet 4.0K Dec 12 17:48 environments drwxr-xr-x 3 puppet puppet 4.0K Dec 12 17:48 manifests -rw-r--r-- 1 puppet puppet 838 Dec 12 17:48 namespaceauth.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 puppet puppet 1.8K Dec 12 17:48 puppet.conf drwxr-xr-x 6 puppet puppet 4.0K Dec 30 08:20 .svn So a command like 'chown -R puppet:puppet /etc/puppet' issued as 'root' should solve your main problem which is the 'Permission denied' error as well as the non starting Puppet process.
