Have you confirmed that puppet master is running as user = puppet? On the master check: puppet --genconfig|grep user

I can assure you that it's not normal, so this is something specific to some custom code on your site.

Since above error message says "Ruby (Rack) application could not be started", I did #rackup /usr/share/puppet/rack/puppetmasterd/config.ru Then I see the rack process on puppet server #ps -ef|grep rack puppet 27140 1 0 14:21 ? 00:00:00 Rack: /usr/share/ puppet/rack/puppetmasterd >From then on the server is able to receive the client certificate request and sign it. Do I have to start the rack manually in a manner like that? I thought if I start httpd service, it would start rack automatically. I am still not sure if I did everything right.
