No index.html in root directory

[nikraza]

Installed hexo, created a new post, published, generated - no index.html in root directory. Browsing folders in browser generates 404 errors when I go to public folder (no 404 error) and follow any internal links to test posts I created.

Hi @tomap.

It's hard for me to retrace my steps because I spent an evening trying to get the site going. I followed the official guide: installed prerequisites, then npm install -g hexo-cli. Everything looked fine.

Today, trying to replicate the problem I did: hexo new post mypost followed by hexo publish mypost. This gave me an error: Error: Draft "mypost" does not exist. Okay, let's try this then: hexo new draft mypost2 followed by hexo publish mypost2. This gives Error: Draft "mypost2" does not exist.

When I do hexo generate, the output, among other things, tells me an index.html in root has been generated but it's not there.

Obviously I tried hexo deploy as well. The only index.html file that's there is in public directory.

theme: light

I see that your theme has been modified to light, did you add this theme to the themes directory?

[nikraza]

Yes, it's the only theme in there.

[tomap]

I still cannot reproduce. Could you also provide the result of npm ls --depth 0

And the content of your package.json
