And the publishing docs folder named by public from this github repo

Hi – I split your post into a new topic and referenced the old one.

I cloned your repo and it builds fine locally. So, what hugo version are you using in netlify?

Also, I see you don’t have a netlify.toml file at the root of your site. Try adding one, then kick off another deploy and report back what happens.

Example netlify.toml file:

[build]
publish = "public"
command = "hugo"

[context.production.environment]
HUGO_VERSION = "0.51"
HUGO_ENV = "production"
HUGO_ENABLEGITINFO = "true"

Something else – in your config.toml file, baseurl should be baseURL, and it should be set to the URL of your site, not /

I am also running into the same problem.

I am following the quick start tutorial but I can’t seem to deploy my script (trying Netlify).

Quick Start

I picked a common theme, and built a website.
I used the command “Hugo” to create a Public folder.

I used git to upload everything to github.

I am following the instructions to deploy on Netlify:
https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-netlify/,
however I am running into the error in the title:

Here is the site I am trying to deploy:

Moondra/Another-Hugo-Test

I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong.

I have tried implementing your suggestions as well.

Thank you.

You need to set HUGO_VERSION in Netlify environment to a recent Hugo version.

[MasayoMusic]

Ah. Thank you!
So I changed it to my current Hugo version which is:

HUGO_VERSION = "0.55.6"

It seems to have been deployed, but front-end of the site isn’t rendering properly:

This is locally:

Then this is deployed:

Here is the actual website:

https://brave-lalande-a02424.netlify.com/

Going through the tutorial,
Netlify.toml seems to have more configurations,
but It doesn’t seem like it’s all of the configurations are needed.

Is there a setting problem?

Thank you so much.

Hi,

You need to set your baseURL to the actual website url: https://brave-lalande-a02424.netlify.com/.

[MasayoMusic]

Ah. I feel so dumb.
Thank you so much for the helpful tip.
