1. No server side extensions are needed. It's a static website.
So, why exactly can't you generate static html?
Most web browsers don't render modern static websites with AJAX, accessibility, mobile rendering, semantic search etc from file:// for security reasons. The problem is in the web browser, not in the site.
If you're super adverse to running Hugo, the Python 2 program below will serve a static website onto localhost for you. Taken from https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplehttpserver.html:
``` import SimpleHTTPServer import SocketServer
PORT = 8000
Handler = SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
httpd = SocketServer.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler)
print "serving at port", PORT httpd.serve_forever() ```
Start using:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
The file above is not needed (that is an example of usage of the module) -- just the command line you wrote is enough: python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 Or for Python 3, even better, binding only to localhost: python -m http.server 8000 --bind 127.0.0.1 Not that I agree with something like the Boost docs requiring a server, but it is even easier to set up one :) My 2 cents, Miguel
