Hi Rafa,

Thanks for that. What a basic oversight on my part, won't do that again.

/var is set as root for owner and group, so that's the problem. Forgot to check 
the permissions. There's no write access for 'other' group, or root group - 
will fix that tonight.

I like it. I've got vagrant working to set up and create VM's, and I've got 
some of the Puppet DSL under my belt now. 

Just need to get Capistrano deploying and I'll be good to go for the basic 
server setup I need to deploy my apps to. I've been reluctant to upgrade my 
Centos 5 server, not wanting to take a current app offline in case I have 
problems setting it all up again. So rather than do it all manually again, I 
thought I'd plump for using Puppet to make future upgrades more of an automated 
process.

Vagrant is good too, it makes it simple to set up and manage VM's just as you 
would with a remote server, so I can set up a Centos 6 server VM with Vagrant, 
provision it with Puppet, deploy with Capistrano, then use what I learn to make 
sure I can setup my production server as needed.

I'd highly recommend the book, it's a good read, with good examples, and so far 
everything has worked just as the examples say they should. The books forum 
appears to be a little quiet - maybe it's just temporary though.

Thanks for the help - I need to get started on the second year of my CS Degree 
with the OU, and I'm hoping there's a Linux module so I can get a decent 
grounding on Linux - as my original question clearly shows I need…..otherwise 
it's going to be books I guess.

Thanks again,

Paul
