I found the solution here:
https://puppet.com/docs/pe/2017.3/known_issues_server.html#puppet_server_known_issues__puppet_server_run_issue_when_tmp_directory_mounted_noexec
My /tmp was mounted noexec. Weird that this problem just popped up no,
when it had been configured like that for a long time.

I'm suddenly getting this error with my puppetserver:

Root cause: Failed to open TCP connection to puppet:8140 (Connection

I set up my puppet server nearly a year ago, and never had any issues
with it. I was issuing 'puppetserver ca' commands all day Friday w/o
any issue, and now this Monday I'm getting this error. My IP tables
rules allowed port 8140 through, but I turned off iptables altogether
while troubleshooting, SELinux is also temp. disabled while I
troubleshoot.
Any idea what is causing this, or how I could troubleshoot further?
/var/log/messages entries don't look very helpful to me, but here's a
