Hello! I'm trying to explore next.js, starting off by following the docs.

However, just after running automatic installation npx create-next-app@latest and npm run dev, I am getting an error 404. I've done no changes on the code base yet.

Am I missing something here?

Yes, once I hit localhost:3000, it redirects immediately to /support.
I tried clearing the cache too, same result.

Here's my entire directory!
Is it possible you typed localhost manually on the search bar and it autocompleted to /support?

there are chances that you ran an app earlier which had permanent redirect to /support

If that's the case, I guess it would just take running the npm command to clear the cache...

for me, I have to open the devtools, disable caching in network and try to manually navigate to root

I don't usually use it for these cases, interesting. ^^
