Vuepress: VuePress dev server not working

[luisDanielRoviraContreras]

  $ vuepress dev
  Extracting site metadata...[21:09:42] Compiling Client
  [21:09:46] Compiled Client in 4s

  VuePress dev server listening at http://localhost:8080/

On the road he does not show me anything as if I did not find him

I got a 404 page.

Please at least provide your OS, Node version, vuepress version etc. We can't do anything with reports like this.

[luisDanielRoviraContreras]

• window
• node v8.4.0
• vuepress v0.7.0
  It shows me that if I compile but when I go to the locarl server with the port it literally appears Not Found

[yyx990803]

Do you have at least a README.md?...
You should provide a reproduction when reporting bugs because I can't guess all the things you didn't mention.

[xuchangjunjx]

ok , i found the problem that suffix 'md' is not lowercase

[luisDanielRoviraContreras]

run the tutorial litarialmente equal

   # install globally
    yarn global add vuepress # OR npm install -g vuepress

   # create a markdown file
    echo '# Hello VuePress' > README.md

   # start writing
   vuepress dev

   # build 
   vuepress build

the name of readme is

README.md

[luisDanielRoviraContreras]

Could they at least explain to me why the file does not work? It has to be readme.md? in lowercase everything? or I do not understand and of course when I say follow literal is to execute a command at a time not everything until comments

could give me a functional example please really I love the proposal of vuepress at the moment use hexo and I would love to migrate to vuepress

[luisDanielRoviraContreras]

I hope this helps to better understand sorry for the inconvenience

Oh I thought @xubowenjx was the author of this issue.

Seeing spaces within @luisDanielRoviraContreras's project path, I assume this is also due to https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/issues/1373 and https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-middleware/issues/296.

Currently, webpack-dev-middleware can't handle spaces within the fully resolved path anymore.

I have also reproduced this behaviour for vuepress on my local Windows machine. Switching from C:\Users\Sebastian Niemann\myVuepressProject to C:\myVuepressProject is a possible workaround until it is solved.

@SebastianNiemann
Thank you very much but where does my route have spaces?

[Ragura]

@luisDanielRoviraContreras
You have a space in your Windows-generated user path, because of the username "pc 01".

@Ragura @SebastianNiemann

Thanks alfin I worked with the name change without spaces :grinning: .

[dannyk08]

@SebastianNiemann thank you, you saved me from a night full of headaches!
I was trying to implement express and webpack with webpack-dev-middleware and it kept failing on me. the process wouldn't write files to a directory

The dev script said it was "listening at http://localhost:8080" but I had to access at http://0.0.0.0:8080

The same issue happened to me. I did what @ajthenewguy did and now I can access the doc.

Thanks to Evan, I realised I had README.MD (the file extension was in caps), causing a 404 on the index page.

Should I create an issue for this?
