Puppet gives SSL error because master is not running

I started with two clean machines this time.

My master is running 12.04

Version: 2.7.11-1ubuntu2

Depends: ruby1.8, puppetmaster-common (= 2.7.11-1ubuntu2)

My client is 10.04

Version: 2.6.3-0ubuntu1~lucid1

Depends: puppet-common (=> 2.6.3-0ubuntu1~lucid1), ruby1.8

To setup Puppet tutorial: http://shapeshed.com/setting-up-puppet-on-ubuntu-10-04/

To connect master and client: http://shapeshed.com/connecting-clients-to-a-puppet-master/

The first time I tried to connect master to client failed with SSL_connect error. So I did rm -rf /etc/puppet/ssl/ to remove all the keys inside ssl folders.

It looked like it work…. BUT

client# puppet agent --server puppet --waitforce 60 --test

It cached but then it couldn't retrieve it.

Let me stop here…. worrying I would mess something up. But let's check master's status.

 * master is not running

WoW…. ???

master# service puppetmaster start
* Starting puppet master    [OK]
master# service puppetmaster status
 * master is not running

1. I think time is sync. Well, we are behind a firewall so the port to
   sync time is disbaled. I checked with date and they seem okay.

2. What about master not running? Is that the cause?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I always have this error, but I always ignored it. http://pastebin.com/exbpArjv
What could it mean? Time sync? Package not installed? Then how could we do puppetca in the first place?
