It doesn’t show on the localhost. Just blank. Have installed several times. Have also followed the video tutorials and the documentation of instaling Hugo what it seems fine.
Have wrote on the config.file the theme = “hugo-dream-plus” the theme that I want to install.
Have changed the baseUrl in diferent ways. But it doesn’t look in the tutorials as relevant so I left it like by default.
Have moved posts from the theme into quickstart/content. Nothing.
It seems there is a deprecated error .Hugo what it seems to come from the theme files (if I’m not wrong)
Here the code:
root@user:/usr/local/bin/quickstart# hugo server

Additional context:
I’m using Linux and followed the Debian installing.
Hugo version:
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.55.6-A5D4C82D linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2019-05-18T07:56:30Z
Any help would be really appreciated. Many thanks!
Hard to say what is wrong. We need some more info to be able to help you, so please have a look at Requesting Help and provide some more details, like your repo? That way, it is easier to help you. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the help! I’m gonna try all what you suggest. Thanks a lot!
I just wonder why then in the documentation they tell to do those kind of things that at the end are wrong. Even some tutorials are just incomplete and I am totally fine because it helps to learn and it is even for free so it is really appreciated. But often I get ‘please read the documentation’ but many times it is incomplete or just not updated.
Maybe start a new project. After adding the theme to the theme folder, look into the theme’s example directory. Copy the content of that directory into the root of your new project. Now hugo serve should work. It is always a good idea to bootstrap things using the example from the theme to get a first, working version.
I don’t know if the documentation is wrong, but from what you posted, I’m wondering if there is some kind of permission problem. What I suggested is standard practice(*) and might help with a permission problem (if that is what the problem is). Another thing that could help with a permission issue is to reinstall Hugo using a package manager (assuming you did not use a package manager already?).
(*) I don’t currently spend much time on a Linux machine, but back in the days that I did it was standard practice to 1) minimize the things you do as root and 2) put your user files under your home directory. Is that still standard practice in the Linux world?
Now I get this error message when I want to start hugo server:
zaesar@zaesar-X541UV:/home/zaesarpo$ sudo hugo server

Here’s another idea: see if you can run the example site of the theme
git clone https://github.com/UtkarshVerma/hugo-dream-plus.git
cd hugo-dream-plus/exampleSite/
hugo server --themesDir ../.. --theme hugo-dream-plus
I’m using Hugo 0.55.6 and I get the following warnings
WARN 2019/05/23 08:53:44 Page's .Hugo is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use the global hugo function.
WARN 2019/05/23 08:53:44 Page's .UniqueID is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use .File.UniqueID.
Yet the example site still builds. So I would suggest firstly to upgrade your Hugo version
Well nevermind, I see you’re using the latest Hugo version already…
Yay that you are in your home directory, but boo that you are using sudo. You need to do the following:
Do not use sudo, simply run hugo server.
Be in the directory that contains the config.toml file of your site. This is probably not /home/zaesarpo. It will be something like /home/zaesarpo/sitename. (*)
What Hugo documentation are you using? I recommend that you find some Hugo documentation that does not tell you to use sudo hugo server. Also, rather than using a theme that you like (which you can do later), use a theme that the Hugo documentation tells you to use. There is an interaction between directory structure and config files that can cause problems when you are learning Hugo. You are trying to do intermediate-level Hugo dev, but you are a Hugo beginner.
(*) I just looked at the image of your directory structure and see that you do have config.toml in your home directory. This makes me think that you are new to Linux as well as Hugo - is that true? Before we can help you, we need to know more about what computing experience you have.
_nm thanks for your advice. But, I’ve already run it before without sudo and got an error…
zaesar@zaesar-X541UV:/home/zaesarpo$ hugo server

My site where config.toml is already where I’m zaesarpo folder.
If you run hugo config from the root of your project and look for the line that says cachedir what is its value? Am wondering if part of that error is because Hugo cannot read/write to the cache dir.
zaesar@zaesar-X541UV:/home/zaesarpo$ ls -l /tmp/hugo_cache/

You need to do the following:
I just read the above. How did you create that directory?
