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,

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 :)

    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
