Solution

Make sure that the system clock is set to UTC, and is within a few minutes of UTC.

Check the time on your computer system (use the command date for this).

make sure time and date in slave1 synced

Thanks for your reply guys. It worked for me :) there was time difference on both server's. Synced the time and things worked.

@PankajNavneet if HairyNetworkAdmin's answer below was the correct solution, can you please mark it accepted? This helps folks with the same problem find answers easier :)
