title: Why my single page in Hugo returns a 404 HTTP error?
body: <p>I am trying to create a site with <a href="https://gohugo.io/" rel="noreferrer">Hugo</a>, but I don't get how to add a single page to my website (posts are working fine).</p>
  
  <p>Starting from a fresh install (<em>v.0.27 64x</em> for <em>windows</em>) and running the following command from my terminal:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; hugo new site soexample
  &gt; cd soexample
  &gt; git clone https://github.com/parsiya/Hugo-Octopress.git themes\octopress
  &gt; hugo new about.md
  &gt; echo "Please display me" &gt;&gt; content\about.md
  &gt; hugo serve -D -t octopress
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can see that my draft page is rendered from the output of the last command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>...
  Built site for language en:
  1 of 1 draft rendered
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when I try to access either <code>http://localhost:1313/about/</code> or <code>http://localhost:1313/about.html</code>, the server (not the browser) returns a white page with: </p>
  
  <pre><code>404 page not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I missing ?</p>
