Quickstart Error

I’m following the quickstart guide on Github found here https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/blob/master/docs/web/quickstart.md
but I’m encountering an error when trying to start Graphhopper

I have the files organized like so

after running the command
java -Ddw.graphhopper.datareader.file=ontario-latest.osm.pbf -jar graphhopper-web-0.13.0.jar server config-example.yml

both in CMD and git bash I receive the following errors

        D:\Users\alexp\Downloads\routing>java -Ddw.graphhopper.datareader.file=ontario-latest.osm.pbf -jar graphhopper-web-0.13.0.jar server config-example.yml

The quickstart docs for 0.13 are here: https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/blob/0.13/docs/web/quickstart.md (let me know where you found the wrong master link)

The config.yml format will change for 1.0 (snake_case instead camelCase for 0.13) and also the parameters are slightly different (1.0 requires a dw. prefix)

When you switch to the 0.13 branch, make sure you remove the config.yml otherwise the new config-example.yml won’t overwrite config.yml.

Perfect! The new config got it working

On the Graphhopper Github

I went under the “For the Web” heading and followed the “install it” link to https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/blob/master/docs/index.md

And then under the “For Users” Heading I followed the “this user guide” link to

Ah, thanks. This should indeed not link to the master docs. Will fix that.

Sorry but I still get this error with both config-example.yml

Also, same error, windows 10 64 bit here
