Hi I have followed the hugo quick start (i am using windows) when i run hugo server -D I get this message:

C:\Hugo\Sites\quickstart\>hugo server -D

The quick start doesn’t mention the warning and the local host displays page not found… I am using windows. I have spent several hours trying to get this to work going through various troubleshooting… I want to assess Hugo and a particular theme to see if it fits my purpose for API documentation…

If anyone could guide me towards what I have done wrong, I would really appreciate it.

That solved it!! thank you… So you don’t think I am a COMPLETE idiot, what happened was i tried following the process using a different theme… (docuapi) initially and couldn’t get it to work, so when doing it again, I missed that step… sorry but thank you… I have another question but will create a new thread relating to a specific theme

I am also new to Hugo. Just know you are not an idiot. It takes a while to follow the docs, and I recommend reading more than once. Cheers!
