It’s hard to tell without seeing your code, though the error means what it says :stuck_out_tongue: . Are you using a theme? What is in either /layouts/index.html or /themes/layouts/index.html?

May i know where is the defaults pages location. Like in apache by defaults in /var/www/html. can you please guide me where the files stored in Hugo

I think you may be confused as to what Hugo is and how it works. Although Hugo comes with a testing web server, that not what it is (i.e. it’s not an alternative to Apache). Hugo is a static site generator (SSG) which takes markdown files, templates, assets (CSS, JS, images) to build a static website.

When you run hugo server the site is built in memory and served by the test webserver (localhost:1313). If you want Hugo to build your site to disk (so you could serve the pages with Apache) then run hugo. By the default the site is built into the public folder within your project’s directory.
