In addition to needing to use three '/'s in your URI as Den mentioned, you
would need to change up your folder path. Modules under /etc/puppet/modules
all have their own structure i.e.
/etc/puppet/modules/modulename/{files,manifests,templates,tests}. When
structuring your URI you need to keep in mind that the 'files' folder is
invisible or silent. If you have a module named 'files', then you would
need to put your motd file in /etc/puppet/modules/files/files/etc/.
