```

The link keeps loading and doesn’t work really,it shows Task failed too,so something is wrong

I have the exact same problem… I originally thought it was versioning but even downgrading doesn’t work… is it Julia or Genie because it’s the first thing on the Getting Started page…

Heya, as stated before I have run into the same problem… a temporary fix would be:  
`up(async = false)` OR in my case I had to `up(8001, async = false)`

With Julia 1.5.2 and Genie 1.8.0 loading the page does work for me, but takes a few seconds the first time. Doing a `down()` and then `up()` again and then reloading the page is quick after that.

Edit: full trace

From the [getting started code](https://genieframework.github.io/Genie.jl/dev/tutorials/3--Getting_Started.html):

```julia
julia> using Genie, Genie.Router

julia> route("/hello") do
          "Hello World"
       end

julia> up()

```

The docs says immediately afterwards:

> That’s all! We have set up an app, a route, and started the web server. Open your favourite web browser and go to [http://127.0.0.1:8000/hello](http://127.0.0.1:8000/hello) to see the result.

You have to go to: [http://127.0.0.1:8000/hello](http://127.0.0.1:8000/hello)  
Not: [http://127.0.0.1:8000](http://127.0.0.1:8000) (which I also did by mistake).
