Hi, I am new to puppet.
I have puppet server set up with passenger. But when I start puppetd
from client, I see following error in the syslog file:
Mar 30 13:52:03 puppetclient1 puppet-agent[29732]: Could not request
certificate: Error 500 on SERVER: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD
HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html>
<head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8"> <meta name="generator" content="Phusion
Passenger"> <title>Ruby (Rack) application could not be started</
title> ....
I see puppetd process from the client
#ps -ef|grep puppet
root 28571 1 0 Mar29 ? 00:00:07 /usr/bin/ruby /usr/
sbin/puppetd --server=puppet-dev.jcvi.org --logdest=syslog
Can anyone tell me what the problem is here?
Thanks,

You didn't paste the most important part of the error. Thie page ruby/rack generates usually have some pretty useful information in an error field. Like a module missing on an import/require, permission problems, and so on. Please identify and post the error so we can be helpful :)

Thank. I am pasting the entire message here:

a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } dt { font-weight:
bold; color: #280050; } dd { margin-top: 0.5em;
margin-bottom: 1em; } .commands { border: 1px
Somehow I am able to get the certificate for the client. 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.
Thanks,

No that's not normal - you shouldn't have to manually start the start the master like that.. it sounds like your setup is goofy - can you provide logs from the actual server? The portion you provided us is simple the result of the web server saying there is no backend / the backend crashed / the backend isn't responding.
There should be more useful logs in the web servers error logs or the masters error logs.
If everything works when you startup the master manually via rack it seems like the issue lies in your passenger / apache setup.

I am seriously thinking of putting those recursive chown's in root crontab on puppet masters and puppet agents for /etc/puppet* and
/var/lib/puppet*
I shouldn't have to do this but have
seen cases of ownership reversion.

You should spend some time and determine how and why that is happening. I can assure you that it's not normal, so this is something specific to some custom code on your site.

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