Hi,

Firstly, you're using http rather than https - but in any case, don't expect any web pages to appear when you hit the url in your browser. You should try running your puppet agent against the master.

I know you've said you have read the docs but PuppetLabs do offers great documentation. Maybe starting at the start is a good place for you with the PuppetLabs VM and introduction:

thanks for the reply. 

you mean to say that , puppet does not have web server ??
actually, i have referred the docs : https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/passenger.html
i have followed all the steps and at last , there are two commands :

$ sudo chkconfig puppetmaster off $ sudo chkconfig httpd on

now, my understanding is, there will be default web page of puppet which we will get after hitting url : http://<server_name>:8140
is this correct understanding??

Hi,

Puppet does have a 'web server' but it does not offer a user interface.
There is nothing for a 'human' to see at the address of the master. 
Only Puppet agents are supposed to talk to it.

To recap : There is nothing for a user to see...

Try a puppet run using 

# puppet agent -t --server <server-name>
